You'd be better off buying the car cash. BTW nobody pays MSRP any more. If its 111k, then you should get it for less than 105k. So if you pony up an extra 52k, you save 30k over 4 years. It's a no brainer.

If you can't afford to buy this car with cash outright, then I think you should fold and do something more conservative like a 335i. I bought my car cash, and only drove used 3 series until I could buy nicer cars with cash without even thinking twice. That to me is the criteria under which I buy a car - it's not something where the funding is something I should have to think about. It should be like buying a packet of crisps otherwise its too expensive.

Also your credit shouldn't still be bad if these events are 6 years old. You should do the following:
1) if you have any unpaid liabilities, negotiate to pay them off with full interest in exchange for the negative items being removed from your credit history
2) for debts you have already paid off but which have negative history, dispute the history with the credit bureaus.
Thank you very much for your advice and your thought.
How should I ask dealer to adjust the vehicle price? The moment I ask about the discount he goes "nope I can't".

Also what do you think the market price of M5 will be after 4 years? Consider this is Canada and vehicle is more expensive than the states.

And I think 3rd party is buying the car first then leasing it to me with an option of must buy at the end of the lease so basically it becomes finance.
