The throttle had alot of resistance, understandable with those multiple throttle plates. I've driven other m5's with throttle pedals that were lighter.
The steering wheel seemed very big, coming from my car, with the mtech2 wheel. The seats were great. They allowed for a bit more headroom, an issue for me. The glass sunroof was great; love that thing. I did like that the rear seat was a full bench, without the usual m5 rear console.

$7K over blue book though... So was the trans tight and performance good? An evidence of damage or leaks? Any indicators on the condition of the cooling system (rust, signs of overheating, etc.) Is the a/c working? Does that year have r134a? I'm ok with the interior. Your opinion is very valuable to me because of the immaculate condition of your car. I know that you have very high standards!
This place has a reputation for getting above market price on cars from uninformed buyers. I wouldn't buy a car sight unseen over the bay. Maybe Strictly BMW could arrange an inspection & compression test for ya. http://www.strictlybmw.com/
I think a car like this should be purchased from an enthusiast with passion for the car, a pile of receipts, and a known relationship with a good independent shop.
