As per title, I'm just curious to know how many of us have ordered a new M5.

I pulled the proverbial trigger a couple of weeks ago after being offered a stunning deal that blew my local stealers completely out of the water.....£10K disparity for exactly the same car!!

Due in May, but wil probably be June!

I'm midway through sorting a deal, will probably order in a week or so for June delivery. Will be gutted to sell the 1M but I was planning to replace it with a 2 year old M5 in a year or so anyway. These deals are too good to turn down so I can get a new M5 instead of used. What deal did you sort? I'm currently on a 14% discount on car/options/service pack (around £10.5k) but still think there is a little bit more to go. That is on the 0% deal over 4years.

I have. Got a good discount, a great trade in on the E90 and 0% so a good deal all round. Due early April.

Same level of discount as you mentioned, but a great deal on my current car was the icing on the cake.

It was so good that I couldn't say no!!

Yes I got a good trade offer on my 1M too but I will still try a private sale as even if its the cheapest 1M in the country it will still be more than PX value.

I had an order in, but changed my mind and went for an M3 instead. Hope you all enjoy yours when they arrive.

Anyone gone for full leather as well as B&O sound??

I had them down initially, then thought I was just being gratuitous....not so sure now!!

How come the change Terry? I did the opposite, I was going for an M3 but am now after an M5.

I think 5k is way too much for a bit of extra leather. I really wanted the B&O but again is it £3k better than the professional upgrade?

I'm very tempted. Fancy replacing the 997tt with something a bit bigger and the current deals are hard to ignore. Just trying to figure out if it'll deliver enough thrills compared to the current car.

I was looking at it but got told last week that BMW were changing their pricing on Friday with the deals (not sure it was 0% but was the 3ish thousand deposit and around £615 a month for 35 months deal. If the deal is still on I may be tempted, no idea what the deal they revert to is once this period ends.

Change of plans after ordering the M5, new business venture, need to consolidate 2 cars into 1. So the new car needs to be able to cruise in comfort and excite at the odd trackday, so the M3 it had to be.

For those of you who have ordered......

How long did it take for some written confirmation of the deal/order to get to you (I mean physically, by post)

The reason I ask is that I ordered almost two weeks ago and have received nothing (only e-mail and only then after I chased them!!)

Is this perhaps something to do with ordering remotely and not signing on the dealer's premises??

Not sure what to make of it and am considering pulling the plug.....gut feeling is not good!!

I had an F10 M5 from 1st April to 12th December last year. I went with the full leather and it is superb. Full leather door cards, upper dash, lower dash, alcantara roof lining - it is very expensive but as an extra on an already expensive car it is almost good value! Does that make any sense?

I had the leather dash and door cappings on a previous X6 and it does make such a difference.

I did take a bath on depreciation. £86k list, paid £78k. Traded in for £55k in Dec with 7,000 miles on the clock. No regrets though, it was a lovely car.

I hope you all enjoy them.

I kept my E60 for five years. The only thing I regretted was not ordering the full leather. It's expensive, but the leather dash makes such a difference.

Sorry to re-post this, but I'm really not sure what to think.

Response to simple communications has been lamentable.....I'm even beginning to wonder if I'm being goaded to walk away, perhaps because they realise the deal tabled is too generous??
