I wish I had known about bmwvin before I made my purchase. Originally Posted by challer. Lieutenant Colonel. Remember you have until the original factory warranty expires to buy an extended warranty.

I bought an extended warranty with mine as well, was roughly about 5k at purchase. Does the third party warranty cover the car if it is tuned? I was wondering and couldn't find an answer. Originally Posted by Karney5. Most of the and M5's all have a 4-year warranty or 50k miles.

Once you're past that, you're on your own. If you buy a CPO, it's 6-years or k miles. M5s are not cheap and if anything were to need to be replaced out of warranty, it costs, not hundreds, but thousands Your A-arm gets damaged? And so on. These cars are damn expensive. My engine coolant warning kept coming on last week even though it was full. Turns out the sensor or fuse was damaged. Power was increased again in to hp.

The F10 5 Series cabin was relatively high-tech during the time of its release but even by those standards, the interior design was considered more simplistic. It features traditional analog gauges with the M Division's signature changing redline feature on the tachometer. A new steering wheel became available on later models while the rest of the cabin remained mostly the same.

With comfy leather chairs and a usable Drive infotainment system, the F10 M5 feels modern and comfortable even by standards. Being based on a 5 Series, the M5 loses very little in practicality during its M car transformation. It still has a roomy back seat with Fuel economy is pretty poor though, with the twin-turbo V8 drinking fuel at a rate of 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. The F10 generation M5 doesn't have the legendary status of the manual-only E39 model nor the screaming V10 engine of the E60 model but unlike those two cars, which are massively expensive to maintain, the F10 M5 is relatively reliable and is still modern enough that it shouldn't require any life-ending repairs.

Being the first turbocharged M5, it is also much quicker than any previous generation model and can keep up with many modern performance cars. With prices now being a fraction of what they were when it was new, the F10 BMW M5 looks like a smart buy. Don't buy one if you're broke. I made sure I got a full warranty, don't buy one without one, you will regret it.

Bit, its is by far the best car I have ever owned. It's an engineering marvel if you are into that kind of stuff like me. My car has ever option available I don't think high beams assist was offered in the U. And of course it is a blast to drive when you can drive it which in the U. The SMG is not for everybody especially around the town driving, but the car is not about that, it's about hauling ass and it does better than most cars.

What I really enjoy is that people who know "M' know and people who don't don't. Not a fucking soccer mom car! Take your spoiled ass kids to practice in your minivan and quite posing! It's a drivers car! Just saying. Yes it is in fact a fascinating piece of machinery.

I never would've known until I drove hers. I'm more of a classic muscle car guy but now I'm very eager to learn about this car and want one of my own. Hoping to buy one this week driving cross country from California to Massachusetts and have found a few that have caught my eye.

Just how much is this warranty? And is it always available or has to be purchased under certain mileage? Yes the M is no joke. We were just about mph with 4k rpm to go. Very impressive. Mychael answered 6 years ago. ChrisB57, Germany recently went through their own version of the "muscle car era".

It was fleeting, lasting around ten or so years; but in it you saw BMW, Mercedes and Audi just to name a few creating vehicles with massive engines that sounded like freight trains and had the soul of a fighter jet. In the realm of these german muscle cars, this M5 is thunder-wielding behemoth. Truly, the E60 M5 years is one of the last of the titans. As for getting one with a semi decent warranty and this is something that many others may have different experiences with take a look at Carmax.

They DO offer a "fairly" extensive warranty, which may or may not be a hassle to have them actually cover certain things. The power train should be covered, though.

The car had less than miles on it and we paid 39k for the car. This was two years ago. I have personally put miles yes, that is forty thousand miles on it in under three years. The car has had 1 and only one issue, with the clutch.

The clutch itself didn't go out, but a rivet on the pressure plate DID, which caused damage to the clutch, flywheel and a bunch of other things..

Mind you, our car was listed as an "automatic". I argued that it should have been covered, they argued back. It is actually in the process of dispute right now we just paid the dealership ourselves in the meantime. Which is still a pretty penny.

The dealer only supplies the newer shell 10w60, and we just take the Castrol in ourselves when we get the oil changed. The oil changes are few and far between, though. And the car naturally may consume about a quart or so over the course of several months. Other months, it doesn't consume any. In surmise, I would agree that the car can definitely set you back if it wasn't well maintained. But if you want a car like this, you have to bite the bullet and roll with the punches. That first hit on depreciation was issued to the first person who bought it.

These were at a MINIMUM 90k brand new, depending upon options ours, for instance was k new and when you can scoop it up for less than half that, it's worth it. That's good to know. Mine had 44K miles and is pretty well maintained. The manual said to change oil every miles. That didn't sound right to me. How often do you change the oil? Paultnt answered 6 years ago. Hi I've had my m5 e60 for 4 months now it's done 54k and is an The clutch was replaced before I purchased.

The idrive and the telematics phone unit needed replacing at around pounds. By far the biggest cost is the fuel which will shock any normal person!. Now the good parts - I love it , the way the engine sounds and thrust the car at full throttle us insane very similar to the f Buy one get a warranty and enjoy. As for the oil, I change it as often as it tells me-usually around , miles or so. Cossie answered 5 years ago. Paultnt answered 5 years ago.
