Maintenance Costs: 1991 M5 versus 1991 525

[healtoeit]

The engine in the M5 isn't any regular BMW engine. It is a piece of art, well thought out, precision engineered, and not meant for just anybody to tear into unless you know what you are doing.

Anyone can pull apart an engine. It's the putting it back together part where "just anybody" would fail to do it correctly.

The M5 is a great machine, but as Jr pointed out, it is high maintenance, just because of the badge it wears.

sorry this board keeps posting my messages out of sync.

Switch to hybrid mode and it helps with that problem

Ben,

Buy the 1992 M5 with the 3.8 in it. Its way more then 10grand like double but it sounds like its trouble free. Not sure if its this forum or bimmerboard but its the purple one with cloth interior. Just a dream I know. But at least you Canadians can get them. Here there are few to none like it.
