I am patiently waiting on my order of a CP M5 MBB. I have only had M3s in the past so this is my first M5. I am planning on buying it so I figure I need to keep it at least 4 years. How many years you guys planning on keep your M5?

norbtx · 11-26-2018, 09:24 PM

Until the next M5 with iDrive 7!

GUNGASLOW · 11-26-2018, 09:28 PM

Till the m8 comes out

MWcoupe · 11-26-2018, 09:29 PM

M8 grand coupe or next gen x5m

shahin · 11-26-2018, 09:33 PM

M8 convertible or M8 GC competition package

josec70 · 11-26-2018, 09:35 PM

36 months

DallasLife345M · 11-26-2018, 09:50 PM

Agreed but will wait to evaluate those two choices. Either way I am keeping the F90 for a minimum of 4yrs before taking abuse on the next high depreciation machine.

We are all insane.

mhh · 11-26-2018, 11:58 PM

Until the electric one arrives in 2022.

SpeedyDad · 11-27-2018, 01:46 AM

I purchased mine as well. My first M car and I plan on keeping it about 6 or 7 years.

verdao · 11-27-2018, 10:58 AM

Hopefully longer than my 6 speed 190k 2000 540i on original clutch. I drive my cars!

Nice! I got ~130k out of the clutch in my 2003 E39 M5; although it didn't need to be replaced due to clutch wear (main seal failure contaminated the clutch with oil).

I'm planning to keep the F90 for 36 months or so.

tcw495 · 11-27-2018, 12:32 PM

36 months, and hopefully there will be something new and faster or equally fast, otherwise I'll just upgrade to the competition model and probably just try a different color.

Hashtag_M_Rated · 11-27-2018, 04:14 PM

6 years or till the next M5 comes out! whichever comes first lol!

marcvtec · 11-27-2018, 04:50 PM

at least 10-12 years, had my 335 for 12 years.

Greer · 11-27-2018, 05:07 PM

I will hold it until the Hybrid one comes out. That's the real reason BMW did not build a brand new engine for the F90 M5, they have a Hybrid engine on deck.

fstezaws · 11-27-2018, 05:14 PM

I thought I’d keep the F10 for a long while. I lasted 14 months. The traction (or lack thereof) was unbearable. The F90 has solved that, and dramatically improved the tech side as well. I’ll probably keep mine 3 years, up until I can afford a 2nd fun car like a Porsche GT3 then the M5 is just a daily.

Gassy · 11-27-2018, 05:15 PM

I change vehicles based upon whether they disappoint me. So far, my M5 is a dream on 4 wheels. While I could afford a new one every 2 years, I choose to consider my $100K+ purchases carefully, avoid boredom and the "gotta have the lastest bestest", and appreciate that a classic vehicle is a joy to drive for well over 100,000 miles. So, for me, it's about 7 years.

I'm currently only at 9 over 10 years (and that's only owning 1 car at a time, and I also kept my Sierra Denali during that period for about 3 years). It's still early (only 7 months in), but I think the F90 will last the longest.

Nice

I keep buying more expensive car so it forces me to keep it but it's not working. Lol

When you are big car enthusiast you will spend it and nobody can stop you
