cruiser647 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 The £100K M5 OK, so it's a special one and only 200 will be built and it's got nigh on 600 bhp. Will it appreciate like certain other M specials? (after a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I prefer the 50 Jahre. But used values are eye-watering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Appreciate? Not a chance! It'll depreciate like a rock in water drops to the bottom - then in about 20-25 years it'll begin to rise in value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 At £10k over standard for the 30 Jahre and the same again for this new special, perhaps the production run isn't small enough to keep residuals strong for investment. I don't doubt that they'll appeal to the enthusiast and do anything else but sell incredibly well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdiesel Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Lovely car but the price is bonkers. My boss has just bought a new standard M5 (only 560ps!) and paid mid 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Yup, that is the crux of it too with new M5 and M6 cars. They're stunning machines available at huge discounts. Why anyone would pay £100k for a limited edition when you can get 99% of the car for half that price is beyond me. I know I've mentioned this one hundreds of times, but whenever I see M5/6 cars I can't help but think of the £100k+ M6 that Stratstone Tyneside had in with about 3k on the clock. That car went £55-58k (can't remember exactly) and was a good 18 months ago, maybe more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stonkingly powerful, high end, quality marque, with top spec and tech. Add in limited edition features and cache and the price tag is there or thereabouts.

jimdiesel Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Apart from you can get fundamentally the same car for nearly half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 True, albeit secondhand, which I very much doubt the target market will be concerned about. They'll be buying fresh out the limited edition box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdiesel Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 No you can buy a brand new (and not even pre registered) for not much more than half the price as my boss has just done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Your boss did incredibly well to get a £80k (base price) car half price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got over 19% off a combined purchase of an X6 and 520d, and they don't have anything like the dealer bonuses attached to them that an M5 does. I'd see mid-50's as being a target an M5 could reach. Jim said mid-50's, so it isn't half price even if you say the price was £85k. £30k off gives 35%. I can see that being do-able. If anyone went into a BMW dealers right now and showed interested in an M5, they're going to be treated very well and offered all manner of incentives.

garcon magnifique Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Jim meant half the price of the Competition Edition. Makes you wonder how they plan to sell the year old used ones that are up for 60-odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdiesel Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Exactly, he paid mid fifties for a nicely specified non comp pack car. Sunroof, 20"ers, HK. Did the deal on the last day of Q2. Edited July 25, 2016 by jimdiesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very good point. This is when a Sales Manager proves his worth. Did he stand the car too high or did he foresee the new car deals and stand it low enough for them to move it on without losing money? The price paid for PX cars is an art at times like this.

JonC Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Fantastic discounts potentially to be had then Makes me wonder why one would want anything bar the limited edition models in that case. Looking forward to seeing one on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Discount intimated on the standard M5, yes. Whether or not that is going to be given on the limited edition is something very different. I doubt it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'd bloody love an M5. One parks outside my son's nursery and I drool over it most mornings. I specced up a fully loaded Passat the other day just for interest and it came to £50k. Hmmmm, Passat or M5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Better be quick, the order book closes soon hence dealers trying to shift stock and the ltd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I too love a M5. Simply awesome do it all, high-end cruiser. If the order book is due to close soon, surely there's discounts available for this short run brute. Incentives no doubt are worth it for the individual and the dealership. I know a guy in high-end car sales, so must ask him his opinion and share findings here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 The car does everything. It is undoubtedly the all-round performance car. But.... I still think the drive is a little muted. Everything else about it is astonishing, but from the interior I couldn't help feeling it was all a bit of a non-event. Whack a slightly louder exhaust system on it and that could change everything.

Andrew Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I say I'd love one. Sat in one at the local dealer didn't get me excited. I was sad about that. Not had a go mind you, have you MrMe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I test drove one years ago when they first came out. I didn't have it for long, maybe 30-40 minutes. Blindingly fast, agile, comfortable, completely glued to the road and a fine example of what the superb chassis of the 5 series can cope with. But it left me feeling a little numb. The noise didn't get me at all, that was the big factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
