Depending on mileage, storage conditions, and pro-active maintenance, the quality of any given E39 M5 varies dramatically these days - hence the reason for the wide disparity in values.
The E39 section of the M5board is where you can find tons of information. Perhaps start with the FAQ thread, and also the DIY thread.

P.S. If you register on the M5board, you can set it to display in "Classic mode" which is much less cartoonish appearing. |
Thanks for the info, I was poking around over there but there's so much info to try and absorb when looking at a car seriously for the first time. Life would have been much easier if dad had just gotten the M5 instead of the Benz way back when and kept it in the family.
