As the former owner of an '88 M5, give any BMW of this vintage wide berth. Wonderful car to drive, horrible car to maintain. Try $1,675 just for the part to replace the exhaust pipe, another $500 in labor. Try $800 to adjust the steering, because you have to take out and replace the airbag if you play with the column linkage. How about $350 to replace the oil, because the oil filter is upside down in a hard to get place...? And I owned it new, from '88 to '95 (I gave up after the exhaust replacement and sold it). Buyer beware.
