Picking up my ex demo M5C soon....
Hi Guys,
Wanted some tips on anything I should look out for, I’m picking my M5C as soon as the dealer opens. It’s sphire black with 2000 mls on the clock. It was a ex demo car so has pretty much all the options. Apart from B&W sound system CCBs. Anything I should look out for when collecting etc. I’m hoping to get it in to my local detailing company when I get it. I assume I will have to get a paint correction done on it... not entirely sure as I’ve not seen it yet. I will probably go for a ceramic coat and PPF and some kind of protection on the white interior. Can’t wait to tbh....s |

With £2k miles, should be nothing to look out for.
Running in service will have been done - check it's on iDrive. I'd check the wheels for kerbing too. No doubt you'll have to correct the paint, as the teenage valeters will have had a field day. Enjoy! |

unless the cars been through a mechanical car wash each week or cleaned at the local car wash depot where they use brooms to scrub off the dirt you should be OK, I really wouldn’t mess about unless rectification is required, post some pics too, we seem to have very few UK cars on display on this forum
By the way I have had my eye on this, I am resisting given the current situation and waiting to see what happens with the M8GC and new offers https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/2...d-8356d93073fc |

But I’m sorry, your comments in respect of correction aren’t correct. One wash by the dealer valeter and paint will need correction. A demo car will have been cleaned three times a week if not more. Correction isn’t intrusive, it simply removes imperfections and can be done in a day. No good PPF installer will proceed without some form of correction. |

If that were a few grand less it'd make more sense, the spec is ideal |

You just need to negotiate hard, but their cheapest option is to do it in-house and then it’ll be a badly corrected car, so you can’t win at dealers when it comes to ‘petty’ things like paint finish. Put your deal on the table and only buy if it’s met. |

There is always a risk, you would have to be very unlucky for them to refuse a claim though.
