I was third in line at my east coast dealer who has 10 allocations.
If any of those values get worse, I'm out. I'd rather spend that money on a new Panamera of pre-owned E63S 4Matic.

Thanks for sharing. The biggest thing here is that ED's come out of dealer allocation. This is a terrible thing for the buyer.
I believe the F10 M5 was at 48% residual for 12k/36 months. So I'm guessing 12k/36 would be like 56% or 54% for the F90 M5. It's better but not great still. Still, that extra 2% discount loss from ED's on a 120k+ car is a big deal. Every little bit counts.
Again, especially if buying the F90, a 40-50% loss in value over 3 years for a car that has the same engine as the F10 M5 is just looney to me. Why would I flush money down the toilet like that to get into another car that has the same power and torque characteristics, the same exhaust note, and the same fuel economy as what I've already been driving for the past 5 years? For people who never got into the F10, it makes sense, but as an M5 enthusiast, well, you know. Such disappointment.
