Hi,

I'm thinking of purchasing 1988 M5 with 110,000 miles on it. It looks to be in great condition except for the usual: worn out drivers seat, cracked dash, a touch of rust under the trunk lid. I'm planning to take it to a well-regarded BMW mechanic in my area to get it checked out. My question is: what things typically go wrong with these cars at this mileage and age that I should be on the lookout for? I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into! I'm sorry if the question is too basic for this forum. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Best,
T
