Based on their experience if you give the thing basic care and respect you shouldn’t anticipate any problems. Obviously we are all going to get the niggles you would expect from the F10 platform, but if you aren’t launch controlling or tuning, the car is massively over engineered for day to day tasks. He basically said if you drive with all that power remorselessly the car will tear itself to bits.
Not trying to sell snake oil, just thought it was interesting. Doesn’t really chime with the internet F10 M5 tales of engine replacements every third tankful.
I ran a (wonderful) m3 for years and the only expense was a bonnet pull cable.
Drove home looking at the car through a different lens, they are ridiculous value for the 20-30 they cost now.

That's good to hear
Does that mean you won't renew the warranty?? Interested to see if his opinion has swayed you in any way??
