just bought e60 m5

[Kilsoj]

been reading away here for a few weeks, some great info on here.....

just bought an 07 m5 from dealer, 2 year warranty and 30k on clock

for this and my toys in the garage though....any one know any filling stations going cheap?

lol

[Boogsie]

Have fun with it.
Even if all the fun comes from driving between petrol stations

Congratulations. 220 miles from a tank is not too bad for the fun to be had!

Fwiw when the range drops to 0 there is 1 gal left in my tank...

[mondie]

Yes l have noticed that too, today the trip computer said 10 miles left and she took 62 litres. So I guess 250 miles is achievable on a tank.

[Boogsie]

I'm not sure I'm comfortable enough with that to try it
have gotten down to 5 miles though... Was somewhat stressful!

[tommy vercetti]

Congrats, enjoy that glorious V10, any pics?

[R5YUP]

Did you get the 2 year warranty thrown in, or did you pay the extra (and if so, how much was it??).

Congrats, I keep looking at the Tourings desperately trying to find a way of justifying 15mpg to the missus (she'd be driving it to work in the traffic!!).

[Kilsoj]

no pics yet, picking it up on wednesday. our local bmw dealer has a two year warranty promotion with their used bmws, so decided was worth going for. gave my mrs my a6 s line avant, so she cant say to much to me.

Easy, I have done more.


What was the damage, or is that a rude question?

[Kilsoj]

not a rude question at all, 18k for her, but got 1k more on my trade in than i expected, so very happy with the deal. will give my 360 some stiff competition i think........

This is Kilsoj's thread but since l bought my M5 a little over a week ago I guess its relevant.

We bought a late 07, Black with Platinum interior, heavily optioned, immaculate, 26,000 miles for 26.2k with 2 yr BMW warranty. Brakes were done and tyres are near new. Bargain for the awesomeness on offer.

Cheers.

That seems pretty cheap for a main dealer car on an 07.

Does the car have more than 60k miles?

Or have I read it wrong?

Either way, get the pics/spec up!

30k on clock he says. Billy Bargain at the price.

[Kilsoj]

Very early 07 car not specced up to highest but decent spec all the same. BMW dealer who done a lot of business with and the car is pristine I actually know who owned it and they have a nice cOllection. Minute I get it pics are up

[cosworth330]

Did i read this correctly, so you bought a 07 plate with 30k on the clock with a 2yr warranty from a BMW main dealer ? If so that is a bargain !

I've just seen a Silverstone 56 plate (quite good spec) with 47k miles at Enfield BMW for £20990 which i thought was a good price ! It is exactly the spec i'm looking for. I hate the tinted rear windows and back window which most seem to have so i want one without the dark tints.

[Kilsoj]

Yep I did. New tyres oil change etc all done as well do pretty pleased car history is fine etc for anyone who thinks I'm being stupid. They actually also had an 08 coming in with 22k on clock for 24, with full spec but didn't like the colour. Maybe the market here in NI is very soft for m cars at the minute

From M6 hunting I can confirm the market in NI is a fair chunk lower than mainland England.

[mondie]

That is a great buy, and l thought l had done well. As a newcomer to the UK am I right in assuming NI = Northern Ireland? Might have to buy my next car from there!

[DeanR32]

Is it hard to register an NI car over here on the mainland?
