Need Help Buying M5C

Hey all,

Looking to get into a used M5C... they have one on sale locally at a dealership but I have 2 questions for you guys:

1) How is the price

2) Are there any MUST HAVE options (in your opinion) regarding upgrades? I'm not super familiar with options for M5C, but from what I understand, they pretty much come well loaded at base since it's the competition series, but wanted to confirm with you guys out there who are more knowledgeable.

Knowing me, probably going to end up tuning it and trying to get more sound out of it.

Assistance is greatly appreciated!!

The MSRP is probably around 124K on this loaded build - so you are getting around 20-25% off. I would offer them 35% off.

Awesome build; my one regret on my car is not getting the full extended leather (which this one has). My F10 used to have it and the extended leather looks super classy and upscale.

Unless there is something going on with it the price seems good. Here is what it was ordered with: https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/b446613

competition doesn't come with any extra "packages" compared to the base. It just comes with some suspension changes, additional blacked out items, and a small bump in HP.

but that one also has all the "packages" available which are Executive, drivers assist, and BW sound system.

for a 2019 competition w/ less than 10k miles it seems like the price is on par. especially with the $5k paint job.

these cars are tricky to price used
it has the M spoiler and the special paint
so I think it was closer to 130 k MSRP
I think anything below 90 k is good

Not really. Subtle design changes and updates. There are threads on it already in here.

I almost bought this last week. I finalized the deal and purchased a plane ticket to go see it. Then... I found out it had a DME tune and flagged by BMW. Therefore, the manufacturer warranty is void on the engine and it’s components. I passed.

They offered a 3rd party warranty in place of the manufacture warr. After reading the fine print. Again, I passed.

I wanted Nardo Grey. My search will now continue. Doubtful I’ll find another M5C Nardo Grey, optioned like this at a reasonable price. I’m looking for a daily/winter driver. If you’re going to tune it and the warranty doesn’t matter; I thought it was a reasonable deal. Especially for the individual color.

I almost recommended that he have BMW pull the history on it on the BMW system. There was a car I was looking at in California (M4 Comp Vert) that seemed very low for the miles and I found that it was a trainer car for the mechanics. Same deal...I offered lower and then passed as well on that one.

That's not M. It's RKP I think or something aftermarket.

And I would have lost my shit if they didn't disclose that before I flew up there. I flew about an hour to buy mine. The manager would have been finding me my next car and shipping it to me at no cost

Just cosmetic changes for front and rear ends, nothing big. Engine is still the same. Just try to push for more discount and let him know that it is almost 2 years old car. Good luck and keep us posted!


P.S. Sorry I just read prior post regarding BMW warranty for engine was voided. I would NOT buy it, not worth the hassle, just IMHO. Sorry buddy you will find another car and you will love it too!!

Are you sure it's the same vehicle? Carfax is clean and only with 1 owner on this one.

I don't know your particular circumstances, but my suggestion would be, if it is within your means, to try to get a new M5.

Been in M5's for 20 years at this point and I've seen quite a number of horror stories buying used.

I've also seen forum members put cars with serious issues on swap a lease and unload the problem on an unsuspecting owner.

The only guarantee is buying new IMO ...

^^^^^^^^ this

Thought that was you. You posted an informative and lengthy thread. Have the link for OP?

If it's the same car that seller should be ashamed. 2-3 times trying this crap and hiding that it's flagged by BMW and voided warranty
