Love this spec.....GLWS

[Marcus Frost]

Gorgeous car and don't lower the price a dime! These cars with 3pedals are so undervalued and underappreciated for what they are, especially when other inferior Ms are going for so much more! Someone will love this car, and the 6-speed is just wonderful with these motor.

Good luck!

No longer for sale, can't bring myself to do it.

I can understand that, I've had mine longer than any car for the past 10 years... there is no new M5/M8 in 6 speed, and I'm sorry to other M5 owners but the F10 is one of the best especially with 3-pedals. The day will come when clean F10 M5s with 3 pedals sell for the same as their E39 brethren.

Maybe so. I've had this conversation with the guys at EAG and they say no. Those guys know their stuff, so I can't claim to know better than them, but it just seems that the scarcity of our cars, - the 3 pedal versions -combined with modern day comforts yet brutal performance, and the fact that it's the last M5 manual to be built, will eventually count for something. Anyway, I've got a 5 yr warranty so I'll keep for awhile and treat it nice and see what happens.

With all my respect to EAG, I absolutely disagree. They made 10,000 E39 M5s just for North America, and only 500ish 6-speed F10s for the entire world. My F13 is one of 66. There will be enough people worldwide wanting these cars in the future with such low supply that the values will ABSOLUTELY go up.

I get why an E39 gets good money, but I think the F10 should be up there too.

Yes I agree and in my opinion the F10 is modern E39 when talking about the M5 specially manual but for some reason they been overlooking that ... as for what I’ve searched i have 1 out of 12 from 500 manuals (base model MCB silvertone interior 2014) please correct me if i been misinformed

To each his own, however, I personally do not enjoy the F10 as much as the E39. It feels more synthesized to me. I still love mine, a MY16 6MT, as I am in a different point in life now than my days w/ the E39 and E30. However, I wish the F10 had more (M) soul to it like the cars of previous generations.

I wish they appreciate, I seriously do. However, with its over-reliance on tech it seriously compromises their longevity. My old man still takes his E34 to the track today, I am not confident I can track my F10 in 20 years.

That is very fair - I think a mostly electronic driven F10 will have a difficult time competing with an E39 in terms of "purity" - but certainly one can appreciate given the 13 year delta, the F10 is a proper successor to the E39.

You're touching on, I think, a bigger picture issue that reflects on cars in general today. I don't know of any German car that I'm going to have a lot of faith will be having the piss beat out of it on a race track in 20 years. It's just a different era of cars.

That said, I also agree that the F10 does have some very nice luxuries and amenities the E39 lacks, and that's why I feel that they should be in similar categories price wise. The E39 def has more soul, but the F10 being the grandson brings a nice balance of driving enjoyment as well as modern luxuries to the table.

Have you considered doing suspension on your car? It really does a LOT for how the car drives. I put the KW sleeve kit on my M6, after an alignment and corner balance, it is amazing what it did to the car without losing any of the ride quality or suspension adjustability.

.......Or even being driven around as a collectible vehicle 20 or 30 yrs from now. What happens when modules begin to fail and no one is producing replacements?
After I bought my F10 M5, my next purchase was a 2016 MINI Countryman S All4. Now I find myself shopping Caterhams! The quest for purity in the driving experience is only offset at this point - for me - by safety and value concerns.

Still under warranty so want to take it slow, I was told previously the Dinan suspension package (~$4K) with camber and sways may help, but I am not sure if its is worth the 4K on a ZCP car. Was yours ZCP? And is the difference material to warrant a 4K price tag?

My car was a non-ZCP but I added competition sways when I did the KW. The KW Height Adjustable Springs (H/A/S) is a nice compromise between a full coilover setup and stock, because it preserves the factory shock. That way, you can still utilize the factory adjustments for comfort/sport/etc. You can also set ride height and adjust each corner for a decent corner balance. I paid like $900 for the H/A/S.

I think going the Dinan route + camber plates would yield better handling, but for me personally I was looking to preserve the integrity of the GT-ness, which I think was accomplished with the H/A/S.

[selo]

bump, have decided to re-list vehicle.

[selo]

price lowered $2000; includes 4 yrs of Platinum Warranty.

[selo]

Price lowered, warranty available at added cost.

[SGTVinny]

You should consider avenues like BaT or Cars & Bids if you have time to put up a decent ad w/ semi-decent pictures.

[selo]

Ugh. Yeah, maybe so. I'm hoping to avoid that hassle. I figure between this forum and Autotrader I'll reach a pretty high percentage of interested folks.
