Run.
1st rule of Euro cars, if can't handle the heat($) at the main dealer, don't buy one.
Buy a E39 Msport (I still want one! and I have a 545!)
Sorry if I was a bit blunt, but i've learnt the hard way
Cheers

DOnt do it. Its not worth it. You can get CPO 545s for mid 20k now with coberage. You will never be able to sell this car and if it has enough damage to be salvaged I question whether it really is in awesome shape.
