If no, then start with 3 series first
Even if you DO, M5 is pretty steep.

Your monthly income is more important than your liquid net worth since most people finance cars - if you buy an M5 cash and have ~1M liquid with interest rates this low, probably doesn't make sense.
Never put liquid in CD.

Stock market can easily give avg $80-100k/year from $1M. More than enough to finance/lease M5.
