    Looking at a 2000 m-5 trading my Honda S-2000

    I am looking at an 2000 M-5 150k that is is great shape has 10k in repairs from the dealer in the last two years. He is looking at a straight swap for a 2000 Honda S-2000 thought I would get some feedback.

    thanks

    $14k price seems steep for 154k miles. I bought mine for about $18-19k with only 53k miles on it

    What repairs were done by PO in last two years? I'm two years owned on my '02 M5 (now at 140k miles) and have learned a lot. This car has many specific issues that you'll see referenced on M5Board, like cam position sensors (CPS), throttle position sensors (TPS), VANOS, thermostat, fuel pump and much more. That being said I've found my car to be very reliable and exciting to drive. For the car you're looking at I recommend you get a Peake reader (or equivalent) to see what codes if any are stored in the ECU. A generic OBDII scanner will not answer, as it will not display the BMW-specific codes that you need to know. M5Board has a lot of info on how to get these codes and what they mean. Ryan Schultz's YouTube channel E39Source has some excellent DIY videos.
