Should I buy a f10 m5
Hello you guys so I'm super interested in buying a f10 m5 maybe a 2013 or 14 model
There is a couple here around my area that cost roughly 37-38k or so with 28k-46k or so miles Do you guys think is a good purchase or stay away I'm honestly not some one with deep pockets lol by no mean there for I'm looking for a decent cheap one or should I stay away from these bad boys I've had a n54 e90 335i I've had a 135i n55 and I currently have a f30 n55 But I honestly want to jump up to something faster and I've always loved the m5 especially how they sound Do these have any common issues or are they not reliable

Also long as the car has been well maintained, these cars are awesome. Not sure I've heard anything about fuel pumps. And spark plugs are same as most cars, 30k for regular maintenance. I got some clutches upgraded but plenty of people are on stock clutches with upgrades as well. These cars are great deals right now. For the amount of power, technology and 4 doors you get for the price, it's hard to beat.
I know it might be some higher miles but mines up for sale if you're interested: https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/c...195702468.html |

I bought my 2013 M5 6MT from Carvana of all places after searching high and low for a 6 speed. While the car had some minor issues (battery, ac compressor, defroster), the warranty from Carvana covered everything. Knock on wood, 13,000 miles and 10 months later its perfect (knock on wood). Its my daily - driving 75 miles a day. From what i hear these cars like to run. Someone on here said run it on the highway often and it will be fine. That's what i do on top of regular maintenance.
LOVE IT !!! |

battery and AC condenser are not uncommon replacement items at this point. My battery was replaced by the BMW dealership before I bought it. I had to replace the AC compressor within the first year.

I have a f10 M5 and it is in a different league. There are a lot of post about these car going wrong. If you've had the n54 and have been able to keep on top of maintenance, then the M5 won't be an issue. Just make sure you do you checks and 1 that has full service history and possible oil changes every 5k. |

I bought mine with 17k. Now at 32k. No issues.
Values seem to be unchanged from when I bought mine nearly two years ago. Has the depreciation halted on these cars temporarily, or are these cars sitting on the market for a long time? |

Bought mine at 11k miles now at 99K miles. Daily driven with no issues. Do your diligence on the precious ownership and baby the car. Enjoy it

I bought the first one I saw just 10 miles from me luckily in the colour, spec and wheels I wanted with 25k miles, now on nearly 38k. Most important thing is the engine rather than what accessories are on it, night vision, lane change,especially comfort entry can be annoying and expensive to fix if they go wrong and some b&0 amplifiers have expired .Comfort seats and split/fold rears are more important to me.
It's not unusual for these rapid cars having quite a few owners as after a couple years some owners hanker for a change due to the nature of the car and want to pay less for servicing, repairs and insurance etc. |
