Just bought an E60 M5

[groucho]

It has the extended warranty with still 6 months to run, same with the tax. Great condition, December 2005 model, new tyres, computer showing service in 9000 miles, tracker, tv, etc...

£27,750

I'm quite happy with that, what do you think?

[groucho]

One question, will I have to re-subscribe to the tracker?

[philmots]

Colour ext and int!? How many miles?

Seems very reasonable with the warranty etc!

Get some pics up!

[groucho]

Sorry, 29,000 miles, Black Sapphire and black extended leather. I'll put some pics up when I pick it up.

No.

Thats a good buy. Well done.

Id be framing the warranty though...it may come in handy.

Don't say things like that.

I was thinking just that when I read this post. Awsome cars but f**k me dont they get expensive when they go wrong which seems to happen far to easy for such a prestige car!

Congrats, seems very goo value.

What are the main issues with the E60's if you don't mind me asking?

[skeeterm5]

Don't believe all the naysayers...... I havent had a single thing go wrong with mine. (Doesnt mean that I dont sleep easy because of the auc though)

I'm so glad you decided to buy an M5 otherwise i would never have got my hands on your excellent TVR griffith. Good luck with the new purchase.

I'm looking at 06/07 m5's but am terrified at the idea of owning one with little to no warranty left...

Anyone come up with an aftermarket warranty for peace of mind???

[Swoxy]

Congratulations.
Maybe you should get it checked out by a specialist so there's enough time in case you need to make a claim on the warranty?

Hi Simon, yes I miss the Griff already. I wish I had more time and money and I would have kept it. Perhaps I'll get another when and if I get more time.

Enjoy the car.

Can't you just renew the current warranty?

Not sure I understand what you mean, could you explain? There is still 6 months to run and I will be renewing it.

If it treats me as well as my Griff did then I will be happy.

Buy an AUC and renew the BMW warranty.

Sorry a BMW Approved Used Car. I just got a M6 as a AUC. You get 12 months warranty with an AUC however this can be extended until the car is quite old / mileage is quite high (I forget the exact cut off points but I think it's something like 100,000 miles or 9 years). I think the M-car warranties are more expensive to extend once the car is past 60k miles.

[groucho]

AUC? I'm buying privately. Is the BMW warranty that comes with the car still OK?
