Check Edmunds.com they have a very helpful Cost to Own data that breaks down the additional elements of owning these...also according to Consumer Reports the 5 series are plagued with problems.. in fact they have the M5 specificallt on their "cars to avoid" list from data aquired from M5 owners... I have a buddy who owns a early 2000 M5 and a newer M6, the M5 is hands down a hot rod, but requires high maintenence...
If you do your due-dilligence and still want to buy, atleast you'll have documentation to neg a better price and you'll know what your getting into...
Good Luck, and remember to get a PPI
