F10 M5 advice

[spartridge]

Hi all - right, have decided I need an M5 in my life.

There are pros and cons on new vs. used but have decided on new order. Would really appreciate advice on what is must/nice to have from the options list from those who already live with one day to day.

Also any thoughts on the % discount off list I should be targeting?

[spartridge]

Cool - when did you put your order in BTW?

[spartridge]

Thanks Neil - was the 14% on the base price or options also?

Got to admit I had already earmarked surround view on the basis it looks amazing more than any practical benefit

[spartridge]

Yep. Had a couple of test drives and borrowed one for the day. I think it does the dual personality thing very well.

Will probably go for Azurite Black with a light interior

Was looking at Imperial blue also...do you know if Metallic and Xirallic are the same thing in BMW terminology? Ta

[spartridge]

hhhmmm...looks good. Potentially £1k saved

Thanks for the input chaps. My current thinking is:
- Azurite Black (Silverstone interior)
- 20" wheels
- Piano Black trim
- Harman Kardon
- Universal remote
- comfort screen
- sun protection
- power sockets
- M seats
- comfort access
- surround view
- Service pack

Giving powered boot and soft close doors some consideration but these may be too decadent for me . Can't come to terms with paying £335 for split fold rear seats which should be standard!

If the dealer(s) are prepared to sharpen their pencil on OTR price, I'm in.

Have been informed by a dealer that going slightly off piste with colour e.g. Azurite Black could add a few weeks to delivery time. hhmmm....Interesting.

I've spent so much time & effort (OK, and money ) turning the Tuscan into the perfect car for me that I doubt I will ever part with it Jon. Happy for my resolve to be tested though!

Got distracted.
Got focused again.
Got an M5

2yrs old
Stealth spec Imperial Blue with model designation deletion
Loads of options thrown at it.

Awesome!

Oscillating seat base is a bit weird though, and I can't possibly imagine when I'm going to need the night vision
