M5 owner devastated
Discussion
Havung bought my E60 m5 from knights almost 3 years to the day and finally about to pay for it outright,I'm now in a position to sell for a couple of reasons,I've only covered 17k in the 3 years which has to be fair kept them big service bills at bay but in the next 12 months of ownership I'm looking at 6k conservative estimate in rainy day money which I'm struggling to justify despite having the rolling monthly extended BMW warranty which costs £90 a month but I wouldn't recommend ownership without IMHO , what did shock me was , I paid 21k for the car 3 years ago and looking around the forecourts nothing like this exists for the money anymore,I have been offered 12k at the dealers px,but only having a budget of 28k including px and a little finance I'm looking at best M135i or a rep mobile
I thought from the title that something awful had happened!!
I have no idea how you're arriving at £6K, but if you think your car will need some money spent on it, why are you surprised by the dealer offer?
You paid too much for it in the first case, so it's not that much of a drop in reality.
You might wish to try Eastern BMW to see if they'll take it off your hands.
If I were you, I'd look into lease deals, perhaps with maintenance built in.....some cracking deals are out there.

WTF is your problem?
Have M5, paid for.
Have money to put on top of the M5's value for a different car, yet don't want to keep that same money either in the bank, or allocated for maintenance?
Your problem isn't with your car chap, its psychological!

What could possibly cost you £6k out of warranty?
Spark plugs & oil = £800

Brake discs & pads all round = £1,200
Tyres all round = £900
Spark plugs & oil = £800
After that you'd be good for a long time, I'm pretty sure changing cars is gonna cost more in dealer spread and depreciation.
Are the Cats covered under the 90/month warranty? On the M6 these were 5k+ from a BMW dealer.Brake discs & pads all round = £1,200
Tyres all round = £900
Spark plugs & oil = £800
