When did I hate on the M5? I related an experience, agreed with OP, and congratulated them. M5 is an awesome car.

I think you are seeing what you want to see. I have said PLENTY of negative things about my WS6 and G20. I mean, this is almost as bad if I were to do this...^^

BMW owners don't complain about owning a BMW. They complain about not being able to afford the service and maintenance costs.

Are you ready to spent 15k on a new engine or 5-7k on transmission? Or 1-3k for any electrical problems? That's the price quote for M 5 .

Yeah I've been looking at the 06-07 M5. It all depends on what the next duty station is. Being divorced is awesome more **** for me after child support!

Those BMW's, especially the ///M cars can be very expensive to maintain compared to a Nissan, though. If you can, either set aside $$, make a friend at the dealership/ a BMW shop, or get a warranty of some sort. Roommate took his 5-series in for a new coil-pack and it was $200. $120 of it was labor...on a coil-pack (He did not know it would be like that or he would have done it).

Sick car, but warranty is key on a BMW!
