I don't personally know enough about the used F10 values to comment on your specific find but I've owned several M5's, similarly priced AMG's etc and if I were going to purchase one of these cars used I would want to find a CPO car or try to negotiate an extended warranty in to the deal, especially if you plan on keeping it for a while. Good luck.

M5 was my dream car. I bought 2015 M5 and now I don't know what to feel and what to do. Reason is suspension. Through bad roads ( not potholes) fronts suspension makes noises and you feel as if shocks or lever arms or other details of front suspension is broke, faulty or loose. Dealer checked the whole suspension and says everything is ok and its normal. How can it be normal it's disgusting it feels like car had millions of km passed through worst roads in the world. I asked here on this board and it seems that no one have this kind of problem.
Guys please help me out here.

I've had my 14 ZCP since new and after 32000 miles and I've had zero problems or issues other than a cracked windshield and finding tires

Good to know you guys are not report all sorts of issues with the car, anyone above 50,000 would be nice if they could chime in.

Thanks

All options? Seems like a great deal as long as the car is in good shape. Get it checked out at local BMW dealer. They will charge you less than $200 for inspection.
Just think you're getting almost 50 percent off MSRP. And you will get another couple years warranty unless you hit 50k miles first.

I don't know about USA cars, but in the UK, the M5 should have definitely had its run-in service at around 1200 miles or so. This makes the car's warranty valid.

Other than that, check for signs of abuse and mis-use, does it sound OK when you drive it? Turn the audio off, put the windows down and drive it along a quiet road and hear for any 'rubbing' or whining noises. Press the accelerator gently to accelerate, and then lift off and see if you can hear anything unexpected?

That's what I did when I got my 2013 M5 used.

Good deal go for it
Get it to be certified though
And in reply to the other member about horrid front suspension, it can be jarring at times but not that bad man !!

No I actually didn't, it sold before I could get one. Other than that have not yet found one with the competition package and the B&A system. If I do find one its way over priced.
