    This is a bigly question. Why dont you start with running codes to see if anything is stored up. How does the car run? Did it pass smog?

    Very broad question. Without knowing the maintenance history behind it: I would say replace all the fluids to start, motor oil, diff, coolant, brake, transmission.

    I am having to car checked out I got the car for three thousand. To make it right I would have to put in about five thousand to get it right. It needs O/2 sensors some bushing front and rear on the suspension. All the weather strips a paint job and the left front door lock cylinder. And it need a hood cable and of course I will get a major service and all fluids. Even with this things that needs to be done the car is pushing about 420 horsepower it is a beast. Also this vehicle is going to be a project vehicle not a everyday driver weekends only.

    Wow $3k M5. Nice find, but from the sounds of it, it definitely needs some TLC.

    How is the car pushing 420hp? Does it have headers?

    I took the M5 to my mechanic to go through the car and check everything out. I just found out it has a chip in it as well. I am going to make sure everything in right on this baby. I got the car from my brother in law.
