You can also look for indicators car was well treated. Clearbra and extra oil changes are a great indicator.
Buying off a board member here is another good way of getting transparency. Look up their posts and see what they did and whether they had any issues.

Thanks again Stealth. I do know some forum members' cars are definitely first option to puchase if I do not want to face the crapy financial and relibility issues.
However, I am located in Canada, purchasing from states would be kind of headache.
Also, I checked with 3 good BMW dealers, they do have the preowned 13 m5s with really low milege e.g. I found one MCB 13 m5 with black interior and it just has 6800kms right now, but those cars just don't have the option I want. If I am going with the m5, I need the full leather for sure (I have this in my 650gc). B&O speakers is also a must option for me. The most loaded m5 is the one I mentioned above, but it hust has the exclutive pkg and lacks of the other two.
However I figured out something right now. If I am going with the m5, I do not need the CCB and cP PKG actually, just order one would be a better option for me than taking the one I mentioned yesterday which is a frozen black limited edition. 
Otherwise, I might go with the lci e63 amg. I just got some information back from my friend who works in the MB dealership, their trade in value for my 650gc is better than what BMW gave me. All I can say is BMW is really low balling me now especially the dealership where I purchased my GC from. |
If you decide to buy a new car, I would suggest you wait for the LCI CLS63. That will be announced by June I think and goes into production in July or August.
