M5 high"er" miileage

[TheJakeR]

Hi all,
In the market for an e34 and an m5 is always in my scope :D.

Found one that might be very interesting, a 91, but she has 188k miles.

How many problems and I going to see, and is it worth getting a rebuild on her at this mileage?

She will be my DD, so I need everything to be in good mechanical shape.

for just under 10k with everything else in great condition, brilliantrot on black, what do you all think??

Thanks!!!!
Jake

and probably isn't the best idea for a DD..

[none for you]

I wouldn't daily drive one unless you have $500 ready to throw at it at any time...if you can do your own work.

Sounds like a bad investment for a daily driver

188k is quite a bit for the S38, so hope that A LOT of money was recently spent to make things right + proper.

If you have $8k+ ready to drop on a rebuild and want a phenomenally fun and exciting car to drive, go for it!

Mine was a daily driver for almost three years. That was after a $15k engine rebuild. I think it's a great ride and it's not that much more to keep running than most older BMWs. That being said there's an old saying "There's nothing more expensive than a cheap M5". I bought one for $10k and spent $25k over the next year getting it the way I wanted it. BTW, mines for sale.

Great engine

Thanks, Fixed.

That would be a killer deal though.
