Exhaust System 2k.....and to do anything to the engine is Mega Money. So basically 5k just to have the suspension, brakes and an exhaust system.

So I'm just considering my options....but no firm decision as yet.

The M5 is a fantastic car, which is hard to improve on. But a Petrol Head is never happy with standard.....

so why go for that one Jim.

very nice car,but would cost £££'s to get it to a good reliable spec.

better buying one already modded imo.
