My clutch has 177k, with no sign of weakness,
but who knows how your car was driven. Could go out tomorrow, could last 250k

My exhaust is shot, including the cat. Thinking of a Triflow, cat back ($850.)


I'm looking at this M5 and it has had no major work ever done to it. The owner says everything is tight and feels like new. The car has 104,000 miles on it. If I buy the car, how much longer do you guys think I can get out of the clutch and the exhaust? I'm just trying to think of costly repairs that I may need in the near future. Any other tips would be helpful! Thanks guys
