Question Help me choose between these two (2020 M5C vs 2022 M5)

These are the cars:

https://www.ebautobrokers.com/used-bmw-m5/

Top is the 2022 M5 Base

Bottom is the 2020 M5C

They even have the same exterior color. My question is, would I be missing much by going with the Base? It has the Competition Package, but that doesn't make it a Competition, isn't it?

Low milage and more tech sounds appealing to me. But you guys know better.

Thanks.

I thought in 2022 the Competition was no longer a standard alone model but a option you could add to the base car. So a base car with the competition package is a M5C.

It looks like the 2022 has the Competition Package. The window sticker shows it as an option. I had a similar decision as you a couple of months ago and chose a 2022.

2022 with the lower miles and comp it’ll be better for you in the long run especially warranty wise. If price isn’t the deciding factor it’s an easy choice. But I’d try to get it closer to 95k - pull up some comparisons and I’m sure you’ll find some priced a bit lower and show the dealer. Even if it gets you 2-3k off it’s worth it.

GOODLUCK! You’re going to love either one

Yep, they are both comps. Definitely get the 2022 if affordable!

Yes, the 2022 is the LCI and has the better ride quality so that's the way to go.
