If I end up having to put in another $10K (hopefully not) would it be a good deal for a M6 that has no issues?

Nope, no way to really visually inspect those. Setting aside $10K is a smart idea. I looked into an E60 M5 before I bought the car I have now. The trottle actuators didn't scare me, my biggest concern with the S85 is the high pressure VANOS pump. My opinion on all of these V10 powered BMWs is that if you can get a good example and maintain it they're some of the coolest BMWs available and it won't surprise me to see values start to rise. Manual E60 M5s are going for quite a bit of money already. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
