There is a Danish saying: "It is expensive to use mahogany as firewood" - and the same goes for the M5, as to some it is just a very expensive 5 series.
This is my 4th M5 (E39, E60, F10) and depreciation is indeed brutal. I always buy second hand, so the first owner took a 75.000 euro hit. If you keep your cars slightly more long term, i.e 4 years at least, buying outright is still financially better.
At the end of the day, an M5 is a luxury, not a necessity, and this is the price we pay to have a brilliant car, when a 520d (in Europe) would have done the A to B transport at a fraction of the cost.
