Cons -
Driver rear window is not functional - motor dead, typical E34 issue. I'm lucky its only one window..
One rear lock motor is dead - I usually just leave it locked, rarely do people sit back there and when they do I just open/close it manually.
Couple dings and dents and scratches around the car. Don't expect a new car.
"Low Beam" error light because of HID bulb voltage is lower than standard halogen bulbs. Never cared, but there are write ups on how to delete this error code.
Will need replacement driver fender

Car starts up every time. Never overheats, comfy, fast, looks good. Car handles great for a four door sedan, puts sports cars to shame especially with the suspension,brakes and six speed. I average 18-20 MPGs. Gets 25 MPGs on the freeway, ultimate highway cruiser. Four liter V8 makes great power matched with the 6 speed makes it fun to drive. V8 sounds amazing through the gears.

Poor mans V8 M5, ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing. Car needs nothing mechanically, was going to put wheels on it next with more sticky tires. Just got back from a 2k mile road trip. Car had NO issues, A/C was blasting the whole way.

Smog will be buyers responsibility
