This is the next car on my list after the zed. I can't believe how cheap they are now considering the power they can deliver. Granted 19mpg isn't great but that soundtrack, :wub: :wub: :wub:

Ooh that looks fantastic, and the sound of those V10s is car porn!

But do I need an estate? No, but who cares! Ah, now it has all gone wrong, I couldn't find enough cash down the back of the sofa - even included checking the car seats I'm probably £17,994.67 short. :lol:

I can believe that. £10k seems to be the recommended "rainy day fund" for non-warrantied examples.

57k M5 Touring for £18k

Post by mmm-five » Sat Jun 24, 2017 10:25 am

The e60 is the only M5 that I WOULDN'T consider buying. I'd happily have a high miler of any other M5 over the e60. In fact the e60 M5 was available when I bought the Z4M, and I didn't even look for them in the classifieds.

Too much new technology went into it to be a reliable mileage muncher - and as these cars cost a lot to run on even short trips, it makes it prohibitively expensive as a daily driver. I never really gelled with the ones I tried as they felt 'remote'. It was VERY quick in a straight line, but I wouldn't feel comfortable throwing it around Welsh roads like I did the e34s/e39s.

It's a thirsty bugger (18mpg combined) - even when compared to other generations (e34 was 26mpg combined) (but obviously not so much when you consider the power/weight increase).

If I had 10-20k for an M5, then it'd be a difficuly choice between an e34 or e39 M5 - as I'd probably get a lower mileage e39 for the same price a higher mileage e34.

This is an E61 though. Rational thought is entirely inappropriate. :P

It was an e61 M5T that I last drove - at 170mph - during a group test & photoshoot with the last generation M5T :P

Mate of mine had the saloon, second owner, gearbox and a bunch of drive train stuff towards the rear went (can't remember exactly what, was a while back) - £21k bill. Fortunately covered under warranty. I do love the look of the tourer though, especially in blue.
