Im from Vancouver, I own a 91 M5 since 1995. Still love the car, I drive it 8 months a year, email me for any specific questions. I was looking at a 99 740i Sport but Park Shore refused to inspect the car for me so I guess most BMW dealers wont do this even though I am a long standing customer, I think there are other issues like liability so I guess you need to find a private mechanic who really knows M cars. I have been servicing mine at Park Shore for years. The stories are all true, expensive to maintain but a reliable car to own. Blow an engine and expect to pay $15-$20,000 CDN to replace or fix the motor, thats true too.
