F10 M5 Named a Future Classic by Hagerty
BIMMERPOST NEWS F10 M5 Named a Future Classic by Hagerty Hagerty, a leading insurance provider for classic vehicles, has named the F10 M5 as a future classic. They have this to say about the F10 M5: "A performance-oriented sedan with an old school manual transmission is quickly becoming an extinct species. While more drivers shun the thought of using three pedals, we applaud BMW for keeping this option alive in this segment." Full press release: Quote:

(I'm cynical about such things if you can't tell)

F10? I'm surprised it wasn't E60 M5.

it's for 2014 cars only... I too didn't notice at first. my first thought was where's the 1m?!
I can't see the ghibil becoming a collectable, though.. wouldn't someone rather have a quattroporte?

Reality is that only the US has a manual option, of which 10% are spec'ed as manual. I assume manual would be classic. Assuming 2000 sold, 500 in US that makes 50 a year for a 7 year production run of 350 original manual cars. Over 20-30 years 50% written off? Does this make it a classic maybe. Dual clutch maybe not. Glad I got a manual.

Most forgettable? Tell me more about how you have driven one. While I wouldn't consider it a classic, it sure as hell isn't forgettable.

"In order to be considered for this years "Hagerty Hot List," the vehicle must be produced within the 2014 model year with an MSRP of less than $100,000"
This is why your M6 Grand Coupe is not on this list.

Interesting, only time will tell.
I personally think the i8 will fit into the collectible category down the road. |

The F10 M5 is a beautiful bimmer. I have to agree, I'm sure they will be a classic. I for one want one with a manual also. Maybe one day if I ever have a family.
