TJ, that would make a great weekend car. Buy it and a cheap van or car for commuting to keep the mileage down and costs low.

It is not that bad if you compare it to other Ms. Yes it has a 5L engine and the best you are going to get out of that is 22mpg. Drinks oil but not all cars do. Other than that it has been o.k to run.
If you drive like me you use up pads and tyres more often, but most people will get 2-3 years out of a set of pads and 1-3 years out of tyres. I you want to mod it then it is a whole different ballgame. |

I REALLY like this. Great colour, & no wood inside. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/102713.htm I've been thinking of an early M-Coupe sometime late 2007 or early 2008, but early E39 M5s are getting cheaper! Running costs are horrific though Edited by T.J. |
