What is the cost of clutch replacement on the E60 M5? Are there any sensors which are weak-points? Is there any way to tell if the car has done a launch-control start?

Otherwise is the engine and the gearbox itself reliable if well maintained? (i.e. gearbox and diff oil change every 20k or so)

Clutch change out is aroun £1800 at the Main Stealer.

You need to plug in to diagnostics equipment to determine if LC has been activated and the number of times. All though I suspect the savy owners might know how to delete this memory!!!

UK OTR price right now is £73,040 plus options. Go to "bmw.co.uk", and click on "M", then "M5 2011".

ETA: Just specced the most expensive one I can figure out and it came to £91875. The single most expensive option was £5445 of Merino Leather...

Merino Leather?

I thought Merino was a type of wool! But for £5445 maybe you can get woolly leather?!

I still think the E34 M5 is one of the best looking ones they have made.

The E28's shark nose also looks menacing!
