Ssssweeeeet
![]() ![]() ... now you bought yours, I want one ![]() One thing to keep an eye on the pre face lift early E39 M5s like yours (1999-2000 up to W reg) is the Vanos issues caused by defective O-ring seals letting the oil drain out of the high pressure chamber after the engine's stopped but it's a simple matter of replacing the before mentioned O-rings and sometimes adding an electric pre-charge pump to build up pressure prior to cold start up. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you're interested I have a personalised number plate you might like for it ![]() http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1436358.htm Quote:

Thanks for the advice Matt. Actually went looking for a 2001/2002 car but most have 80k plus on the clock. Saw a few 2001/2002 cars in 'excellent' condition in the clssifieds.....bloody shit when I got to see them. When this car came up with 55k on the clock I just had to take a look...2 owners, great history, low miles new it was the one. The chap did 70 miles a day in it on the motorway so need to get the stone chips sorted on the bonnet and one of door mirrors has a few but other than that it certainly doesn't look or feel 10 years old....I LOVE IT...
![]() The vanos stuff was sorted under warranty at 36k and thanks for the offer of the plate but already have one to put on. Roll on my first track day....
