Does anyone have any advice on the 2013 M5 and buying from out of states in general?
Thanks

Hey, that described my situation about exactly, 2008 335i to 2013 M5.. Here's the thread where I picked it up a couple months ago:

I would say DO IT! It's a lot bigger car, which I needed. But with the active suspension it drives pretty small when you want. I only got maint for +1 year (not 2) so that sounds like a great deal assuming the price is solid.
I would say you should get them to send a screenshot of the service records for the vehicle and the in-service date. I wouldn't trust/follow the carfax for anything but maybe to look for accident records.
I think a few repairs are normal. All 13's seem to have the coolant lines retrofit, squeaking brakes, something about spark plug wear indicator TSB, etc. Even a few other repairs are fine. You definitely want to see the 1200 mile oil change in there, and then regular oil changes every 10k/1yr about thereafter. good luck!
