[AreseV6]

Hello , this is a post on behalf of my brother in law who currently owns a one previous owner BMW approved second hand E46 M3 soft top in immaculate condition who now has a hankering for and E60 M5 . He has once selling the E46 and saved money about 25 k to play with maybe a little more if stretched he has about 350 to 400 a month expendable income to play with after all bills and responsibilities are covered can he afford to run such a car ?

I am all for the e60 but I dont want to convince him to break the bank

[AreseV6]

Not a daily runner so it looks like he can safely afford it he will be a happy chap to know ....... I know I am

[AreseV6]

Any advice of what to be wary of or a good buyers guide i can point him to ?

Why not? Maybe, like me, he'll want to punt around in a diesel snotter monday to friday and take the family out on weekends in the M5? I don't recall anything that states your weekend car must only have 2 seats and no roof, at least not on this island.

Pretty much this for the BIL , I mean that V10 seriously people cannot run that as the daily snotter not realistically ?
