EDIT - Car was sold to another guy. '15 GT for me
Short story - I now have a 5 mile commute to work and I want out of my Camry. Not in a hurry to get something new, just miss being in a performance car (previously had a '12 Mustang GT). Been keeping an eye on the local Carmax lot (I like that they leave the doors open and they're cool about test drives) for a few months now. I've also been considering a '15 Mustang GT. My budget is $30-40k (have the cash).
So I pull up today and they've got a 2006 E60 M5 w/ only 9,800 miles on it (I asked for a backstory but I guess it's common to get some premium vehicles with stupid low miles around here in the OC). I've already seen the carfax, it's clean. It's loaded, unfortunately has the SMG transmission but for the miles I'm still interested in the V10.
My question - I don't have too much experience w/ M5's though I've owned a few German cars in the past. I know these can be maintenance nightmares but I can get a 125k mile warranty from Carmax for $3k. Looking for thoughts and opinions - I've got the car on hold until tomorrow.
