The return of my E60 M5 - Wallet drained - now Supercharged!
Discussion
TheAngryDog said:
I am putting the car up for sale today, tentatively. I expect it to take a while to sell, hence why putting it up now.
Thats a shame, but can totally understand why, I think if anyone out there is after a V10 M5, yours is totally the one to buy, so many will be on the edge of all whats happened to yours happening, patched off to pass off onto some unsuspecting punter or just on its way very soon, not many will be recently and comprehensively sorted. Its as safe as E60 M5 purchases get and worth paying a bit more for based on all the heartache and hassle you went through.Best of luck and I look forward to your next purchase, just keep away from the Auto trader section called "Potential Money Pits and Lost Causes", No aging Maseratis or V12 Mercs

I aren't sure tbh. It's only a tentative up for sale. I just need to pay a few bills that have mounted up of late, could do we freeing up some money really.
Supercharged VXR8 (assuming you want 4 doors) I aren't sure tbh. It's only a tentative up for sale. I just need to pay a few bills that have mounted up of late, could do we freeing up some money really.

Cheers! I am in no rush to sell, and if I can juggle things around then I may not have to, but time will tell! It is definitely up there as one of the more sorted cars. Seeing what they're currently going for it's almost not worth selling.

Well good luck with the sale - so long as you are sure you really want to!

Buy a W/S205 C63 and join the beef in what is an epic car with (from my ownership) no downsides.
Way faster
Vastly newer
I average 27mpg so far
Q car
Accessible power / not needing to be way over speed limits to enjoy all the engine has to give
Worth a consideration
“join the beef” Way faster

Love it, like our own version of David Hasslehoff, Bomber from Auf Weidersehen Pet or Dobby the House Elf !
XFR is where it’s at I reckon, at a lower budget than a C63,

LOL, cheers. I don't want to sell it, but let's see. I still haven't put much effort into selling it yet. In fact I am currently trying to find someone to refurb my leather Welshbeef said:

I've never heard anyone call a C63 a Q car. Yes it may be faster etc, but that open diff life would piss me off.Way faster

I have heard similar, but I think it is mainly regarding the timing chain / guides.That aside yes they are discreet and fast.

Sorry to hear after all the pain and effort. Good luck with the sale!
Cheers. It'll probably never sell as I'll be asking too much for it..TheAngryDog said:

Covered some 400 miles in at the weekend in comfort. I genuinely do not know why I would need anything faster for the driving I do. I am not of the og / llf type so dangerous driving is not one of my past times.

Shame to hear it’s up for sale, they’re an epic thing but it’s only a car at the end of the day. I get a bit attached to stuff and a, nit very good at parting with stuff I really like.
I'm not trying very hard to sell it, but if someone makes the right offer it will go. I aren't prepared to take a big bath on it. TheAngryDog said:

They have locking diffs though - C63 has a mechanical one and C63S has an e-diff with clutches.
