Hi

I've just bought 2012 M5 F10, what are the things I need to check and watch out for?

thanks

Just normal things

I find these cars more often than not arent really looked after because the first ahd second owner knows they arent keeping a car long term

Check interior anything broken and unusual noises and maintenance history
I found full bmw maintenance is sub par at best
Ive had 2 1 owner bmw with full bmw service history and they neglect even basic maintenance

....know that if you smash the 'gas peddle' really hard,...it'll tear down the tarmac like a bullet train! Enjoy,...welcome to The F10 Club!

thanks both for the replies

I had noticed the reaction when pressing the pedal on the right :- )

Thankfully this car seems to have been well maintained, with a brand new set of genuine BMW discs all-round and 4 matching good quality tyres - good indicator that it's been loved
