I'm looking for a 5 series. The pro's are it is not as big, smaller engine is ok but still need power to fly up the hill to go skiing and I need something newer. I will work from this car. Price range 15k or less.

Best engine, best year etc.

Thanks for your two cents.
Buy an early non-vanos M5 from UK,export to NZ, still cheap and the most reliable quick BM made.£1800-3000 plus $875 transit, taxes? but the ultimate tool.
