Rare if the wiring harness has been replaced then it is a decent deal.
BTW the wheel are not "period correct" though. .they are from a CLK Quote:

If you want the exact interior it is easier to get it from the States. That's where I got my 03.
I think e39 in general are build sturdier than 3ers because the rear suspension setup is different but I don't think there are any particular difference between M5 and the rest other than the Drivetrain.. do pick up the Bentley tome though.. very useful especially when it comes to wiring.
If you are big on interior comfort.. get at least a 02.. at least Bluetooth and iPod are easier to install...and updated terminal resistor etc. Not to mention DVD head unit. Quote:

Obviously you miss my reference about drive train.. which covers basically everything you had just listed. Parts maybe different but the connections are still the same.
M5 still have the same issues as a normal e39.. like pixel burn outs, AC still goes bananas when the PWM resistor goes bad, bad non lead solder on cold days etc.
I just posted a bit of my experience in the other thread. Quote:

| Modified 2005 subaru legacy gt turbo 5 spd wagon set up for autocross
Good deal for someone mechanically inclined, and has time to part out everything. I'm sure if the wagon is fixed up, you could sell it for $10K alone; the aftermarket parts would sell for a few grand more.

IF cluster says one thing, seller says something else, can't verify odometer, i'd be extremely hesitant...

Do you notice a red dot next to the mileage? If there is, that means he has tampered with the cluster. Or else he just replaced the whole cluster due to burnt pixels but don't want to pay for the recode.
The cluster reading can easily be set by software from Europe for that generation.
However the mileage can be checked / verify with Aircare. I don't see what's the big deal. Quote:

Steering wheel wear/seat wear could also be done with lots of city driving and children in the seat and neglecting of the interior. But yeah it seems weird that he's claiming 127k
