    Need tips on used M5!

    A friend of mine wants to buy a used M5.
    MY 05, I believe - since it´s cheaper with Danish taxes.

    He wants to know if he can expect a huge loss on it - he will only keep it a few months, then sell it off and hopefully be able to drive for free in that period.

    Does anyone know..
    • Repair costs?
    • General flaws or weaknesses on the car?
    • Do´s and don´ts?
    • What to look for/avoid?
    • Running costs? Hi, low, medium?
    • Other?

    I´d appreciate your input, THanks! Smiley

    Always liked them but will prove very fuel thirsty and quite a few of them suffered from SMG problems,, apparently...

    Hopefully, someone will post who owns one.

    Is he or did he at all consider consider the E39 M5? 

    I wouldn't get this particular M5... BMW didn't get the looks right with it, and then the problems.. V10.

    indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine..  I happen to like both :)
