Let the search begin....

Hey all - longtime member over on M3post, looking to sell me garage queen e90M3 (assuming I have the guts to sell such a magnificent vehicle) and replace it, and my DD 2014 Prius (yes, go ahead and lol but the thing is invincible AND invisible) w/ a 2014/15 F10 M5 CP. Couple of questions and I'd like to get everyone's thoughts.

Budget will be under $40k and I'd like to find something below 70k miles. I'm super OCD though so the condition will have to be near-showroom. I'd like to leave *some* room in the budget for an aftermarket warranty as well, so we shall see. Does it seem like prices for well-kept used examples will be a bit lower in the spring of 2019? Or does the nicer weather bring a price spike with it?

2014 was the LCI year for the F10 M5, correct? Everything I've read seems to indicate that's the case but I've seen several 2014's that don't look like LCI cars (no dbl slats, etc.) Early builds maybe? Incorrectly advertised, maybe?

Next question - for the comp pkg; how can you tell (w/o the vin) that it's a comp pkg? I've seen cars not listed as CP, vin indicates CP, but the car has chrome exhaust tips, 343 wheels (I know that was an option), and chrome M5 emblem.

Lastly, Besides comp pack, what other options are must haves? Alcantara headliner of course, is B&O that good? Exec Package as well, I assume?
What about seating? Are the m-function seats the "sport seats"?

Appreciate the help; been reading, searching and learning for a while now...if/when my car sell, I'll be looking for the perfect M5.

FYI for potential sellers, I will consider 13's as well but my preference is a 14 CP.

This car is without CP, but to be honest 15 HPs is not that noticeable. Get your self a OFT tune and that will make a difference. Another school of thought is the more bells and whistles you have on your car the more money it will costs you to fix it. Otherwise, this car is fully loaded.

This one is interesting for sure but I'm a little leary of cars w/ custom exhausts because they've usually been tuned as well. I've also never bought a car sight-unseen but I know there are independent 3rd parties that will help out w/ that.

That's a good price for a '15, are those the newer M-sport seats? My max budget is $40k unfortunately. It's also a mid-west car, which I tend to avoid due to snow/salt.

Lastly, Besides comp pack, what other options are must haves? Alcantara headliner of course, is B&O that good? Exec Package as well, I assume?

It will be tough to find an aftermarket warranty unless its offered through the dealer you buy from and even some of those are not covering a high mileage m5 but it shouldnt be hard finding a 14 for 40k. Ive been shopping for a legit warranty for mine for a while.

Hey!

I just bought my car after looking for like months. I first also wanted a 14+ with CP but here is the reason why I didn't end up getting it;
- Budget was also 40k
- There is a big price gab between 13 and 14 (average 5-7k)
- I passed on the CP package because replacing the carbon ceramic brakes is really expensive and I'm never going to use them to their full extent; regular brakes are good on the car. Also its really easy to tune these cars to get 650whp+ HP so the 15whp+ isn't worth it.
- I really liked the LCI steering wheel and headlights on the 14+ but I just ended up buying a steering wheel (just need an airbag) and I can do the lights whenever.

I would recommend the Executive package and the Driver Assistance package as these two were a base requirement for me. As for the B/O, you don't really need it because the standard speakers are pretty good (plus its off most of the time because I wanna hear the turbo spool)

Best of luck!

What I was trying to say is, if you find a car, or like a particular car, and you have a set price you willing to pay for that specific car, I can help you with negotiation tactics. I can tell you if your offer is realistic, or not. Just trying to help.

Interestingly, CCB are pretty darn rare. Don't think I've seen one yet during my search.

Appreciate the help; been reading, searching and learning for a while now...if/when my car sell, I'll be looking for the perfect M5.
I recently bought a '13 with 68k miles. Bought an aftermarket warranty (EFG) through my dealership, 4/50 for $6k.

I think the VIN is the only way to determine the presence of the CP. Most non-BMW dealers have no idea about these cars. There's a production guide on this forum that will detail all the differences throughout the F chassis run.

Executive Package is worth it, Drivers Assist not so much for me. I don't drive with most of the DA features on, but probably would if I drove on the highway more. The good seats (heated, cooled, semi-massaging) come with Exec Package.

B&O is worth it, if only for resale value down the line. It seems to be one of the extras that adds value, at least to KBB.com. If you like to listen to music, look for the B&O.

You'll save money buying a 13 vs. 14, and since I don't care for the LCI steering wheel, the extra money wasn't worth it to me. I bought a set of LCI grilles on eBay and don't care about differences in the lights.

Also bought mine sight-unseen on the other side of the country. PM me if you'd like my perspective and some tips on that process.

Be patient and hold out for what you really want re: colors. There are a bunch of M5s out there with 50-80k miles that have been (seemingly) well cared for and are going in the very low $30ks. Mine had a new set of PSSs on it, and good pad thickness on the brakes, so it was all the more appealing in addition to the exact color combo I wanted.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback pcohen15. I've come to the same conclusion as you about the Exec Pkg, I think it's a must have w/ those seats. I'm not hung up on a 14 over a 13, especially since there's such a price gap, however I would like a competition package car, which first showed up in the 2014's. The thing is, I hate the CP wheels and prefer the 343's. Definitely will hold out for the right one. My M3 sold yesterday so I'll be looking for the right car a bit more seriously now. I'll definitely PM you about your perspective on flying and buying sight-unseen. Thanks!

Seems to be about what dealers are asking for that car; maybe a bit high though. I would try to get the dealer down to 43-45k maybe even a bit less since it doesn't have the exec pkg, B&O, driver assist, etc.
