Buying an used 2018 M5
Hi, I've been researching a 2018/19 M5. Car I'm looking at is a lease return, non-comp, loaded. It was listed as CPO but transfered to another dealer last December. Looks like a clear car but anything I should look out for? Car is at 28k miles so it might need spark plugs soon if not done during CPO? I requested some more pictures and DME check to see if it's tuned before. I'd appreciate any inputs!

Hi bud. I bought mine, same year, same milage (approx 28 something thousand) about 6 months ago. Up to about 32k now - what a car.
1 or 2 previous owners. Took it in for tuning 3 months in, at Litchfield. Turns out it was already tuned as I came away with less pops and bangs than I started with after requesting some more. Only thing is Litchfield noticed a 4WD error when giving it full throttle on dyno. The AWD clutch is slipping, but it only effects launch control - it hesitates when you engage it until late 2nd gear - then goes. Im putting it down to previous owner/owners giving it some hammer. About £500 to fix. Litchfield replace the plates, rather than the whole unit (thats silly money!). Just following the car on servicing etc, when it tells me it needs it I take it in. Absolutely awesome machine. I love mine, look forward to getting in it every morning - even still. Just ordered some wheel spacers, might go with some lowering springs as well in near future.
