I had a run of M cars a few years ago including an E60 M5 and had to sell when divorce struck so went sensible. It was a little over six years since my E60 and a string of oil burners. I told her what a weapon the car is but she didn't believe me. Was fun turning her in to a believer - it took about 30 seconds!!!
Life is too short to say no. If you can afford it then do it. Always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Compared to the E60 the F10 is bloody economical but compared to the 520 it is a real drinker. My 520 sat around 35mpg but my M5 is around 15mpg but then I don't fart about in it and worry about mpg. I just fill it up and boot it - lots.
