Thx Pingu. If there is the problem of oil leaks and wishbone only, that's fine for me. I tried bmw 330ci before and it need to fix those stuff also. It's also same regular items for bmw. I just a little bit worry about the smg and clutch for m5. By the way thanks for your advice!!!!

well most ppl know that the SMG in the M5 is very jerky and not good to drive for day to day.
I don't know how reliable is the SMG in the M5 but looking at the forum in the M5 topics it looks OK
I know that the car is very cheap now but do a bit more home work before you buy it and when you do, I love to have a go in the MD or ND
