M5 Wait for new car

[ArticM]

hi anyone know what the current wait if for a new M5, dealer told me was 6-9m

[dazren]

Not sure, but try a few different dealers. Especially those away from London.

Dick Lovett could get you one within a couple of months if you spec'd it smartish!!

i Know this sounds and probably is a stupid ? but can you get a discount on M5's?

[belleair302]

Everything is available at a discount if you haggle hard enough. The English pay too much and are always getting ripped off. Never pay full price and start negotiating!!! Dealers want to sell and if you have the money they will offer some discount.

BMW get 8% off list and a further 6% if they hit target. Meaning if you push really hard, you'll get between 6 to 14% off list

Buy a demonstrator - 2k or so miles and the depreciation is done for you!

John,thats what i'm probably gonna look for, but they still seem pretty bulletproof because of the demand! Got the 335d .Every car that i should ever want and with the new M3 being £57k with toys its just too close to the M5 for me. Who Knows????

I bought a second hand one. 18 months old for £51k from a BMW stealer. List price with the extras would have been £70kish. Why pay the extra £20k?

thanks, was asking for a firend who jsut bought one, dealer had a new model just come in and he was told lead time for a custom build is at least 8m

still hes pretty happy with the car, so wont pass on above colour!

thast good advice actually search for a demonstrator as these are usually full of extras as well and with only a few thousand miles on them you will save yourself thousands.
