Apologies to all of you that have faced this kind of query a billion times, I'm a newbie to buying cars, let along top class models.

I'm looking at 2013 M5's with around 30-40k on the clock from a dealership.

I guess tyres and brakes will be the big running hit (apart from fuel obv). Given the mileage, do I need to worry about getting these changed before parting with my cash? Is there something Is there anything on these I should be paying close attention to?

Any help whatsoever (and anybother buying tips) gratefully received. I need all the help I can get! 😀

Thanks for the quick response! Maybe I should push to get new ones fitted then before I pay up....What was your avg service cost?

I'm quite a fan of the sakhir, not sure whether i like that better or the silveratone

What did you move to after an M5?!

Thanks HoHoHo, appreciate your insight here.

What are your thoughts on the "its power is a waste on the UK roads" arguement? Surely this is true of any "fast" car?!

FAOD I'm keen on the having a licence, my freedom and indeed a fully-functioning body so dont intend to drive like a complete muppet!

If i buy private rather than via a dealer, can I extend the existing BMW warranty with BMW, or do I need to go elsewhere?
