It's an M car, so you have to be ready to dish out the money IF something were to go wrong. The mileage isn't THAT high, but it's not low either... just around average. Give it a test drive, see how the car is. The M5 will be a future classic, no doubt. However, the only thing you should be worried about is maintenance issues. It'll cost a lot and you have to be prepared to pay for them.
Keep an eye out for something with less miles, even if it does cost a bit more. A well kept vehicle and a daily drive can make all the difference, especially for sports cars like these.
