Finally found "the one"
I've been researching and watching the market for the last 6 months or so. I recently got into the position where I could comfortably afford an F10 M5 so I started looking seriously. I found my unicorn! I was going to be in Charlotte for work and this car was in Raleigh. I got a ride out there from a friend. Pending a PPI to be done next week, she will be mine.
It's a 2013, Imperial Blue on full merino Silverstone interior, 49k miles, and most importantly to me, it's a 6MT! The only thing I compromised on is it being a 2013 versus 2014. I'll upgrade the steering wheel and maybe the kidney grills. It looks like factory mufflers installed but it seems to have more growl than I'd expect from a stock exhaust. I looked underneath as best I could. I'm wondering if it has aftermarket midsection still installed. The pipes looked big and I didn't see any resonators or cats. I'll have to look at some "stock" photos. Pending a good PPI, I'll be flying down from Buffalo to pick up the car in a few weeks. |

Sharp! Hope the PPI comes back with no surprises. That would be a fun road trip home.

Any other common issues they should look for? The shop works on exotic cars and high end stuff such as BMW M's It's definitely a low volume shop though, so I don't know how much specific experience they have with the F10. |

I drove the car home last Saturday. Around 650 miles total. No real issues. I did realize a few small things, mostly cosmetic. The car drove flawlessly though!
Last night I put the car on my friend's lift. Everything is clean underneath, no leaks, tight suspension. I changed the oil too, so I know what's in it and when it was changed. Further PM coming up in the next week or so! |

Nice. Is it the Comp Package car or the one they just got in? They are easy to work with although at the beginning were hard to get a hold of. Also, don't think you will save much off their asking price because they know what they have when it comes to "rare" cars - in this case, a 6MT F10 M5.
