Do a compression and leak down test before any money changes hands....
Buying an E55 that's already modded can save you a ton of money, but you need to know for sure that there is no latent damage anywhere.
I'd be asking for receipts and specific details on the mods. It would be important to confirm that the parts that are "claimed" to be included, are actually on there...
The Internet can reveal a lot about a previous owner too. I remember at least one story about an excited new E55 owner who found out that his car wasn't quite as "pristine" as it had been described. The previous owner had been flogging it mercilessly with heavy doses of nitrous at the track but never disclosed that part. A little bit of online sleuthing would have prevented some serious disappointment later on.
Just be sure to do your own due diligence, and you will be fine.
