Any thoughts on this car, miles in advert do not match picture of speedo and colour might not be everyones taste, but you would certainly get noticed!
I have been looking at lease deals so I have some certainty on cost rather than buy outright Vardy Edinburgh seems competitive. Concerning options is competition pack a necessity
Many thanks

The Sahkir Orange is an awesome colour. When I was considering the M5 it was definitley the colour I was going to have.
ETA I don;t think that is a competition pack car, it hasn't got the right alloys.
Pretty sure they are the correct CP wheels. Just look different due to them being gloss lack. Looks a stunning car & a good price.ETA I don;t think that is a competition pack car, it hasn't got the right alloys.
Edit as now not sure on the wheels as they could just be the 20" option wheel. Still fairly confident that's the standard CP wheel. As regards mileage, only a 200 mile difference so likely just wiggle room in case the car is driven between photos being taken & car being sold.

A grand a month depreciation is not too far off the mark. New, in that spec it was probably pushing £70k and is now at £55k so that depreciation curve is more or less spot on.
It'll probably continue and plateau out towards the £35k mark within the next 2 years. Still, an awesome colour. I wanted one like that but with standard 19" wheels. A very unique colour combo.

They are not the CP wheels, but doesn't mean it does not have the CP.
With CP, this car would have been £85K+ new, excluding discounts. With the discounts being offered last year, it would have been closer to £65K. This is what bothers me the most at the moment, there are going to be so many lease/ 0% PCP/ highly discounted M5s hitting the market in the next 2-3years that buying now, you will be catching a falling knife.

They are definitely the optional 20 inch 343M Black alloys (5 spoke) and not the competition pack ones (thinner 7 spoke)Edit as now not sure on the wheels as they could just be the 20" option wheel.

1k depreciation is about correct - i had a similar shock a few months back over the depreciation when i needed to trade in early. Luckily i managed to pull some money from elsewhere and kept the M5. I am glad i did - fantastic car.
The price is about right on spec and mileage. Colour - your own choice, personally i prefer the BMW blue.

Under closer inspection you're correct, but surely that would make the 343M a no cost wheel option on the CP car so as someone else said maybe just a preference. Personally i prefer the 19" wheels but if i had a CP i'd probably stick with those so at least the car externally looked fully CP.I do like Sakhir orange, but wash;t brave enough to spec it as the external colour on my F10 so went MCB with Sakhir interior.

My M6 GC CP has the 343M alloys as thats what I specced, they are forged as the CP wheels are not they are heavy cast.ETA I don;t think that is a competition pack car, it hasn't got the right alloys.
So any wheels can be specced with CP.
The 343M wheels are 5IIbs a corner lighter.

The "Superman" would be my second choice after the Sahkir and black interior, so good choice
