On top of that, he got it at 7000 miles! Im kind of jealous actually.. I just got a 08 535i... Maybe I should have just looked for one of those! Do u mind if I asked what you paid for the m5?
The M series are nice but from '09 to '06 is a DOWNGRADE in term of value of 3 years, Gas efficiency in '06 with a V10 vs a V8. BAsically you're paying more for gas and to downgrade the model of 3 years. Even though it is a very nice car, it DOESN'T make sense in long term value.
