I ask Southern Specialist Cars what if anything that could tell me regarding the previous owner - They were helpful without revealing anything that would be a breach of privacy. Apparently it has come from a collector who traded it on a one of a kind Range Rover.

4 days to go, trying to squeeze a working week into 3 days and prep the trade in car - starting the drive down on Thursday. Many thanks to the offers of assistance with inspections etc. Cheers.

Many thanks for the info Leichtbau, I'll ask them for the details. Southern Specialists look to have a reasonably good reputation and on the face of it having seen some of the service records it would appear to have been a no expense spared history.

Looking for some help with this car, currently I'm in negotiations with the trader and I'm looking for a recommendation on where to get an independent PPI done? Christchurch BMW is fully booked this week, are there any reputable independents that I can get the car checked over by? Any help here would be fantastic. Long story short, I have spent years wanting an E60 M5 and came pretty close about 6 months ago to buying a low milage fresh import. That didn't work out and this came up, I've watched the price drop over the months and they offered an attractive price for a trade. I'm not trying to hijack this thread, just thought that this was the most appropriate place to ask for help. Thanks.

Hi, I'm about to pull the trigger an E61 M5 that has been through a couple of Bimmersport owners in the past. Currently sorting out the PPI. With any luck there are no significant issues and in 5 days I will be in Christchurch to take delivery. I'll post updated pics if I take delivery. Until then fingers crossed all goes smoothly. Cheers.
