I'm with you, it's more like $94,000.

The Competition package + CCB by themselves leave the price right in north 110K !! BTW this is one of 30th anniversary (30 Jahre M5) with sticker price over 140K and for those who have no idea about it and are interested to know the reason of that sticker, see this thread http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1030873

Oh, wait ... there are people in this world who pay over 70-80K for M3/M4 and are surprised why a fully loaded luxury- sport M5 with over 40% more power and 25% more torque and a world more luxury than M3/M4, which is build only 300 units, is not under 100k???

Just saw that car. That pic is from the showroom of Vista BMW in coconut creek. Crazy mark up to 215k!

Saw, sat, rode in 30 yr yesterday. Just a beautiful example. All the little things add up to something very special. I'm a big fan. 200k for a M5 is just silly though - absolutely no merit in that price.

Was on the same ride...agree 100%!

There are four of those "30 Jahre M5" cars listed on Cars dot com right now. They all have the same Monroney, $139,600. That one the OP listed is in Coconut Grove, FL (correction: Coconut Creek, FL) and it has a $75,000 dealer pack. There are two of them listed for Sterling BMW in Newport Beach, CA (different serial numbers), one of them has a $50,000 dealer pack (asking $189,600) and the other one shows no pack (maybe a mistake?) or maybe it's already sold.

P&W BMW in Pittsburg, PA shows one at MSRP $139,600 but that doesn't mean they will accept that. Another dealer shows one as SOLD. So that's five of the 29 right there. Hmmm...

It's possible that one or more of those dealers offered the original buyer a $25,000 profit (or something) to turn the car over to them instead of taking delivery. Either that or they had their own employees scoop up one or two of the 29 available and then not accept delivery after the car arrived at the dealership; but that would seem unethical. I wonder what BMWNA thinks about this?

Does anyone think, in their professional opinion, that the 30 Year Edition M5's will hold their value a lot better than other F10 M5's? It's obvious that the 2013's have tanked in value because BMW flooded the market with them in 2012 and 2013. The 2014 M5 have a much higher residual I think because BMW knew they we're going to produce a lot less of them. Plus the edition of the Comp Pack and CCB's helps resale value of the 2014 dramatically. The 2015 M5's seem to be even less produced so far, residuals are the same or better than the 2014's it seems. So I'm wondering that a 2015 30 Year Edition will have something like at least a 72% residual value after 3 years. What do you all think?

[Stash21]

I agree it may be depreciate less due to year and being a le. But not worth paying a premium over list to buy.

Ad the chap who managed to get 2 allocated will probably find out. If you get offered 2 out if 30. You shouldn't expect a profit as demand isn't there in the first place.

I gotta agree with you Dave. the 30th edition M5 is so limited and 'special'. even more limited that the M3 CSL was and look at the price of those now!

if you have one of these I'd say its a keeper and an investment. but clearly at factory price, not the stupid inflated price some are trying to now sell at...

this one is priced in Aussi Dollars, not US!!

I agree with Dave that the car will depreciate less than a regular F10 M5...but you can't compare it to an M3 CSL. Four door sedans are just not as desirable as collectibles compared to coupes/sports car. The 30 Jahre may one day be considered a "collectible" but it will undergo depreciation and be treated just like any other used car in the near term. The time to wait for a positive return on a 30 Jahre "investment" may be very long..and it ultimately may not outpace inflation....

The selling price of the car ($139,600) was only a few thousand more than a regular M5 would have cost with the same options, and for that little extra you're getting jet black/polished wheels, 600hp, polished black trim, exclusive alcantara and Merino leather interior with individual stiching and the fact that it's a limited production of 30 for the US.

So there's all that going for it. It might have been better if they had used Individual Pure Metal Silver for the color, like they used on the Zagato Z4, the M6 GP and I think the M5 concept. It's the color they used on a 7-series with white interior that sits on the floor of their museum in Munich. That individual color cost 8,000 euro. The frozen dark silver only looks decent in bright sunlight or under bright spotlights. Most of the time it looks just dull dark gray from a distance. Frozen Space Gray looks better in my opinion because it comes out as a lighter, softer frozen gray. Frozen Titanium Silver comes out looking like a frozen platinum color.

As far as holding its value as a collectible, only time will tell. Very few 4-door cars become collectibles. Because it was such a limited release in the US, I would take a wild guess and say that it will probably be worth 10-20% more than a regular fully loaded M5 as time goes on but a brand-new regular M5 would have been available for less than full MSRP at most dealerships. When the 850i first came out a couple decades ago it was selling for $10,000-$20,000 over Monroney for the first four or five months until dealers started getting two or three unsold ones in stock. Then it dropped to below Monroney in a hurry, but it was a brand new 12-cyl coupe in fairly limited production that first year.

Yeah, get the 991 TTS for less.

The ad succeeded in accomplishing what it was intended to do. To have everybody talk about the selling dealer and the overpriced M5 which obviously overpriced and over hyped.
