Let's assume the next M5 comes in 2017. Its value with respect to resale and "new M5" will be divided in 2.
Buyers from 2012-2013 will enjoy 1 year of "Latest M5"
Buyers from 2013-2017: will enjoy 4 years of "Latest M5"
First year buyers turn out to be the biggest losers because of technical problems, highest price and only 1/5 years of knowing you have the "newest M5".
I wish everything would be retrofittable for a price.

Very very good points Singularity. I never thought of it that way. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the LCI updates as far as the F10 M5 are going to make that much of difference. When I first bought my 2006 M5 I had no idea what LCI updates were, but as I learned about it I wish I had gotten a 2008 M5. I liked the subtlies much better with the LCI. This doesn't guarantee that everybody, myself included, will like the LCI changes though. I for one still prefer the round Angel Eyes as opposed to the squared off ones. We'll have to wait and see.
