Chaps,

Ive been after an E60 for a while but dont want to sell my M3.

Ive been watching E60 M5 prices plummet for the past 2 years.

Rekon if i bought a 15-20k M5 and kept it in good condition it would hold its value somewhat? It seems the low end M5s have plateaued around the £15k mark.Just to enjoy for 6months to a year.

I suppose the big problem is no warranty over 60k miles will have the biggest impact on values given the clutch/gearbox issues?

Cheers
Chris

I think this might be my next box to tick.

Or a C63 amg estate or V10 RS6 and sod the budget.

I would get the estate version of the M5.

wow. i never knew the rs6 v10 was 22k these days.

That might be the one then. Remap up to 700bhp is mightily tempting!

Anyone had one? Is it a turd to drive compared to C63 or E61 m5?

got a link?

Looks like 757 with remap 800 with a decat. Jesus. All that with ceramic brakes and radar cruise for 24k ish.

Hard to beat that with the british weather. Cant really use 500bhp rwd in uk that much!
