E92 vs E60 M5/M6 running costs
Discussion
If either of the above were bought with warranty (bmw) would there be much difference in running costs on say 5k per year?
I'm after something mainly for weekend use for 3 people one being a small child. The older m5's/6's are a roughly 5k cheaper than the m3's if purchased from main dealers. I'm wondering what people's opinions are on the newer car vs the older ones and if the m3 is going to be a lot cheaper to live with.
Any opinions would be great! There is only one m5 and one m6 in my price range that has under 60k on them. Any opinions on those actual cars would be great!

All depends on budgets and what you class worthwhile expenditure for a hobby.
There is no way I'm wanting a diesel for my hobby car, I checked the car I'm wanting to trade and I've only done 2.5k miles in a year so the fuel is pretty much no issues. It wouldn't be a car that I'm trying to improve mpg.
My main concerns are big bills that are not mileage related... I.e just random huge bills and things that are going to spoil the experience.
I think an m3 would prob. be a more sensible choice but suffer more in depreciation. My main worry with the m5 is things that would fail and not be covered with the fully comp bm warranty.

Thanks for the reply.
My budget is roughly £25k so I'm afraid I'm looking at the cheaper selection of main dealer cars. It just gets me into an dct car which I would want.
If I were to wait another 6 months how much do we think they will have dropped? I.e. How much of a better car will I be able to afford?!?
