The cons:

* The starter makes a sound like it's hanging up a little on initial startup. I've had it checked out, car always starts, it just sounds a little odd sometimes.

* One fog light is out.

* The car does have a few bumper scratches and some rock chips. It's a very clean car, but is a daily driver.

* I was told by a previous owner that the car's left side scraped a divider in November of 2010. It wasn't a major accident in terms of mechanical damage (two new wheels did have to be purchased), but it really was expensive repair wise since it touched every panel on the driver's side.

* Factory negative camber on the driver side is not achievable with when aligning the car. Doesn't affect driving feel and no strange tire wear. Just don't be surprised when aligning the car.

 

The M5 has been SOLD.

I was ready to buy it, but not holding 4 golf bags is a deal breaker.

You could always throw another bag in the back seat. But I wouldn't recommend it given how PERFECT those back seats are. Wouldn't want to scuff the leather. If anyone wants to see interior photos, email me and I'll send you a link to the web album.

Just had the driver's seat restored today. Came out great! I've got a couple more photos, email me for a link to all the interior shots.
