Before you part with any hard earned cash you would be well advised to a)have a BMW M certified mechanic do a comprehensive check (Since you are in BC the two best ones are Vancouver Auto or Park Shore Motors) b) check out this site www.netspace.net.au/~jrobbo/M5/BuyersGuide.htm. M5s can be a major financial drain if not well cared for, and even sometimes if they are. Coolant leaks are sometimes a sign of more serious problems as well, so don't take someone's word unless they are very knowledgeable about this particular car.
I'm curious, is the car in BC now? I wasn't aware of any in this location with that low mileage.
