E34 M5 ownership costs

Hey Guys! I have an opportunity to purchase a 1992 M5 (5 Speed, Black, 58,000miles). Before I do purchase, I would like to know what I can expect cost wise for parts and servicing? Anything I should look out for when I inspect the car?

Thanks in advance.

I would post this on one of the M5 boards you would get a lot more responses.

most common of problems with these cars is the SLS.(Self-Leveling-Suspension)..in fact when it is shot...most owners replace with a non-SLS....
regular maintenance is a MUST with this car in particular...make sure you get your hands on any/all service records....
other than that...that motor is a screaming dream...practically bullit proof....good luck!
