At the same time, is there really an issue with him learning in the M5? You'll always be in the car, so I would "hope" he wouldn't do anything stupid in it compared to a less expensive car. But, maybe you're perspective is that if you get in an accident, you'd rather it be the cheaper car?

It's not necessarily about him doing something i wouldn't approve of while I'm in the car but more about idk how he's going to take to learning to drive and if he makes a mistake like pushing the gas or the brake too hard/long it can result in fairly dramatic changes in the M5 vs a normal car. Plus your point about cost of repairs/depreciation is kind of a big deal too.
