Ive just bought my F90 M5 (2018) with approx 20k on the clock. Im its 3rd owner, still under warranty until November.
What an absolute monster if a car. Its hard to describe in words.
My journey with BMWs started with a 400hp stage 2 335i (n54) that I kept for 5 years. Thats now in pieces in my garage as I was half way through fitting hybrids looking for 600hp - safe to say now I have the M5 its getting sold as is, no point in me chucking anymore money at it. Thats been in the garage for 2 years, I bought a 335d xDrive as my daily - that gave me the taste for 4 wheel drive, flooring that in the wet and continuing on in the same direction was a game changer!
The obvious next choice was the M5. I nearly bought a comp but I couldnt quite find one in budget/with the spec I wanted to settled for a M5 that hit the spec and was 5k cheaper - not disappointed with my choice in the slightest. I toyed with getting a remap looking for 750hp, but after driving it home I decided it was absolutely fine as it is and told myself i wouldn't touch it - just enjoy it as its meant to be.
Its my first 15mpg experience though, thats going to hurt - but then I hear the exhaust burble and feel the acceleration in the pit if my stomach and think eff it - its worth every penny!!
Its going to be a 4 year car, approx 10k a year - fingers crossed it doesn't cost me anything in repairs. I can live with services, tyres and brakes - that comes with the territory!
Here’s a pic from dealer when I collected:
