F10 MT Comp pkg

[selo]

After searching for quite awhile I feel fortunate to have found a MT comp PKG with low miles, original paint, and no history of performance mods. Seems to be a no stories car.
Does anyone know how many of these were produced? That is, # F10 MT comp PKG cars? Or where I can find out?

Rare car indeed.
How many F10 MT with CP? Nobody knows.

Congrats. There is a thread around here somewhere that breaks down a decent amount of info but I don't know if one of the stats were 6MT and CP. I know that 577 cars were built with a 6MT, so you can at least start with that number and work down from there.

From that thread I was able to determine my 2013 6MT is 1 of 2 built in Imperial Blue with Full Silverstone II interior

Congrats! I searched over a year for a manual 2014-2016 and lucked out that the one I could finally afford al super late build 2015 also had CP.

I think the only reason I was able to score it was that it was a weird color exterior and interior. Frozen bronze metallic that doesn't look as good in pictures. I took a risk and drove 10 hours to see it and sealed the deal. Interior is nutmeg.

All that is to say there's at least one other and during my search I saw one other that I couldn't afford .

Post some pics!

I am the lucky buyer of this gorgeous car, waiting for it to be washed! What a day, I can’t believe it!!!! I was looking at ‘16-‘17 F80’s and this car came up. My wife wasn’t into the size of the M3 and actually talked me into the M5. I have always loved the M5, but have been apprehensive about longevity of expensive components. Thank goodness for the CarMax warranty! I’m looking forward to learning more on this forum. Pics to follow!

So jealous man. I contacted them to ask if they ship to FL, but this one was not eligible. Post some pix asap.

Awesome! congrats on your purchase. I am looking forward to my future F10 M5 as well. May I ask how much did you get it from Carmax?

I think the price was 43,700 before it got purchased. I was surprised by the fairly low price for the manual.

Very well optioned, congrats!!! If I hadn't bought mine a few months ago I would have hit the purchase button as soon as I saw that one.

I am also in the bandwagon of trying to have had this shipped to North Carolina. I low key am jealous and despise the purchaser because I literally saw the ad get put up within minutes and tried to get ahold of someone on Sunday to buy this. Stupid California e-titles.

Congrats to the buyer.

I think there are only a little over 100 of these if I read correctly.

found an F10 M5 registry webpage. looks like about 8100 M5 built for North America, of those I think 577 MT, and only 118 of the MT with competition PKG. something like that.

The more I want to keep mine.

118 samples? Its now almost impossible to get a MT, more so with CP.

Thanks all! Sorry for hijacking the thread with my response-I'm a noob. Here are a couple of iPhone pics-I tried to squeeze in my 2002, next to which it will live. I'll be detailing it once this Thanksgiving rainstorm blows through. Hard to believe a car like this exists, something so fast and capable. Traction is really an issue with this much power, the 295 section rears scrabble for traction when you get into the boost. Off boost, it's so tame and refined, I love switching between Comfort and M1/Sport plus. My first time with configurable drive modes that work this well.

Here's my take on this car after driving it all of 60 miles. Everything I have read about the F10 chassis being big, bloated, floaty etc just does not hold water to me. It feels like my Bilstein B12 equipped E90 in terms of suspension compliance and ride, (just much more refined and controlled) and the steering is fantastic. Sport plus steering is perfect IMO for just about any car, and fits the nature of this M5 perfectly. I’m now curious about production numbers of this car...wonder what the color distribution is among each. If there are only 118 manual Competition packs in NA, these are extraordinarily rare.

I don't quite get the big and floaty description either, actually feel the car drives much smaller than 2+ tons reasonably should. I agree it feels pretty nimble, with great steering. One thing I've found interesting..... my buddy has a non-comp. PKG and he struggles with traction much more than I do, even though he's running 305s in the rear. Seems as if the differential and suspension tweaks with the comp PKG make a big difference, which I seem to remember some journalists pointing out sometime awhile back too.

What type 305's is he running.I've got Pilot Sport 4's on my normal M and the grip is phenomenal on take off, don't matter if its comp or any other M.

No wonder they're skipping, they've got to be the Michelins like the one's I mentioned.
