Where are all the 2011-2012 M5's??? I looked on autotrader and cant fine 1!!!

[TasteOfPower]

Whats going on? Im shopping for a M5....but I want to get a 2011...

[RPiM5]

There is no 2011 M5 dude.

[TasteOfPower]

Wtf? What? Whattt? How does that happen?

No 2012's either, eh? Can you tell me more?

[M5Rlz]

They stop making them when the new one comes out... Same way there is no 2014 e92 m3/ or m4/m3 because its MY2015.

So in late 2012 the "2013" m5 was released.

[TasteOfPower]

i dont understand.

the new ones dont come out until the next year. so there still should be 2011s and 2012s...if what you say is true. i mean its like............ok so you saying in 2010 the 2013 m5s came out? then it would be a 2011 m5.

The last year was 2010, E60 M5.
The next model was 2013 F10 M5 (in the USA).

thx. i didnt know.

so they still made them those years...but we just didnt get them over here. is that right? and so basically in 2011 and 2012 people were just buying the 2010 or betters.........and then BAM! 2013 hits and we get the new ones. ??

M cars aren't normal BMWs. They don't sell very many Ms compared to normal bimmers. So they don't need to have a model out every year.

2010 was the last year of the E60 which is a good looking V10 but has a horrible transmission, SMG. The F10 m5 first model year was 2013 but of course shipped in late 2012. I have a 3/13 build 2013 F10 M5 I am considering selling but it might be more than you want to spend.

I would sell it for $75k, it's got $15k in mods and it's very fast. You can see lot's of pictures of it here on the board. You can also see it's 1/4 times since I posted them in various threads. It has 16,700 miles and was $111,300 MSRP. It has full leather, B&O, executive package, driver assist and the color is an individual color which added $1800 to the price.

I hate to sell it but I have a 991 tts which I like better and this one is getting parked in the driveway which makes it inconvenient to jockey around and it isn't good for the paint. It was garaged up to the last month.

The first European model year was 2012 which of course was initially manufactured in late 2011. The first US model year was 2013.

I love this statement! LOL! "M cars aren't normal BMWs."

I think a lot were sold to overseas. My friend recently was looking for a used Maserati GT, after going car shopping with him did I realized there is a big market for end of lease American spec. cars in Asia. The dealer has over 20 Maserati GTs in stock at any given time which he bought from the US, and right now most of them are 2013s and 2014s as they came off the lease. He said he sells far more Maseratis than the official importer as Maserati haven't really updated the GTs for a long time so for many it makes little sense to buy it new.

A brand new GT in Taiwan is about 250k USD, a used 2013 is about 130k USD. A used American spec. M5 2012 is even cheaper, at about 100k. So maybe those missing M5s have gone overseas.

In Canada, we have 2012 M5's.

Doesn't Canada and the rest of the world determine model year based on year of actual build date?

I think the US is the only country that bases Model year on production cycle.

[DaveCM5]

I think the M5s come out about a year after the initial model is released. Just like now the G30 is coming out, but the M5 won't come out till next year.

There was no 2004 M5 nor was there a 2011 M5.

Pretty sure Canada and USA are aligned. Tons of 2013s here. Just check auto trader. My friend has one actually.
