I have a 2007 BMW M5 with a true 3 pedal manual transmission and a 500hp V10 engine.
91,700 miles
4 owners
$26,000
Minor interior wear around the steering wheel and the same style wear around the window switches
Everything in the car works, and works beautifully.
There are very little cosmetic imperfections with the exterior of the car. This has been very well taken care of.
The car does have an optional 2 year/24,000 mile warranty available for $4,000 extra (this is the cash value that I can sell it back to the company for).
The car has maintenance since new, mainly serviced at BMW Minnetonka.
The clutch was replaced in 2013.
Recent service
255/45r19 Pirelli Snow tires on all 4 corners ($1300)
I also have 2 front Goodyear Eagle F1 tires with 6/32 left on the them
Oil change/filter with BMW 10w60 ($200)
Cabin and engine air filters ($200)
RDC Antenna ($60)
There is currently a TPMS light on for the RDC antenna, which I have but have not replaced. It is a very quick replacement, but with the cold, I haven't been able to do it. I'm sure the warranty will cover this, but it was an inexpensive part.
I had a Blackstone Oil analysis performed on the engine oil after it was changed out. I specifically asked for bearing wear to be looked for, and they found no signs of abnormal bearing wear. The warranty would cover the engine bearings, if they went out in the next two years with this information (it wasn't pre-existing).
The only upcoming maintenance items are an oil change in 7,000 miles and rear brakes in 9,000 miles. Warranty doesn't cover these parts, because they're wear items, but they are relatively inexpensive.
