Just makes me a little nervous to jump in. Appreciate any input.

I suspect that there a number of people who purchased M5's that have the financial means to switch cars often . They take the depreciation hit and move on to the next new car experience . This doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with the M5 , in these cases it simply means "been there, done that" time to move onto the next great car. |
If this is the case you would find an equal number of both bmw and mb for sale that are in the same price range. fiscally it is the same demographic.
I think dealers way overestimated the demand for this car. part of the reason why I didn't wait for a post-lci was because the local dealer (and there are 4 bmw dealers in greater Boston) had 7 in their inventory and I'm sure they don't want to have such surplus.
I've never shopped for an mb, but I can't imagine that there are 7 e63 amgs sitting on their showroom floor waiting to be sold. also Maybe the price per gallon does affect the upper middle class and upper 1% to push for a Tesla or a car that does not get 17 mpg
