So... I have been researching through different websites and forums about reliability of these cars. Of course, as all forums there people with different opinions, but what really matters is what you actually want, they are just trying to help you make ur choice based on their own point of view. But i am very decided to get this car in a couple months, but do you all think is it the correct choice? This car won’t be a daily work; which i think it’s a good point, since i have my own company car, so i don’t have to worry about going back and towards and put a lot of miles on it; i will literally use it during the weekends (mostly) and some other days during the week when i have some time to drive it around. Thanks! #1 · Feb 13, 2020 So... I have been researching through different websites and forums about reliability of these cars.

Get whichever one you like the style of more. #3 · Feb 13, 2020 It sounds like you won't have many passengers so an M6 may make the most sense. The car is more rare but does not have the legacy of the M5. If you have done your research you should be prepared for some of the expensive repairs. Having the car sit may be as bad or worse than driving it, drive it every chance you can! #4 · Feb 13, 2020 Either way, I recommend a 6 speed manual. No SMG issues on my ride.. #5 · Feb 13, 2020 agree, and an 08 or newer. #6 · Feb 14, 2020 What I like about the M5 is that it is so versatile. I can haul around my family, haul groceries, or haul @$$. I like the look of the M6 better. I’ve never driven one so I can’t say how they compare. 3 pedals rule!

If so, after how many miles and what kind of problems, so i can look for a newer a low millages, and mainly the past owners and how they treated the car #8 · Feb 14, 2020 Yes they have very major problems which is why you are getting an almost $100k car for $10-15k. Info is all over the internet and this site you should do a lot of research. Remember when something goes wrong you are fixing a 100k car Show more replies 1 Reply #12 · Feb 14, 2020 On the E38 forum they have a buyers guide with all the common problems to watch out for. I think for this platform like the E38 mileage really doesn't matter any more because of age. Anything over 50k and if it hasn't been done it will need to be done. Of course it may not be necessary but why risk it? If you have done your research you will understand that there are several potential $5,000 problems that can hit you. Even worse those same problems will take the car out of service. The cost can be mitigated by DIY but they are very complex jobs that require special tools and a high level of skill. I paid 11k for my car with a recent clutch and rod bearing replacement. Due to my research I understood that I could spend that much again with one push of the button. With all of that said you will not find a platform that will compare to this car. It's like have a super car with four comfortable seats. Just look at what was offered in a super car of the same vintage? #13 · Feb 14, 2020 What about an M3 E92? I honestly like the E60s way more than an M3, but looking forward, having an M5 will cost more money in a long way than paying around 10k more for an E90. Looking in different websites comparing prices, millage and past owners I wasn’t able to find any good deal. I found E60s with over 100k miles with 7 past owners, i understand the potential problems i can get with these cars, but I definitely don’t want to have a car that will break down after 15k miles. Lets do a quick comparison in what should be a better deal: 1) I found a 6 speed-Manual bmw m5 E60 for around $15k with over 90k miles, all the maintenance well done and a car in a mint condition; keeping in mind that it won’t be a daily driver car, using it 2-3 days a week and keeping it in a good shape, all the maintenance in time. After how long or after how many miles should I expect the first major problems?... 2) I found a 7- Automatic transmission bmw E92 2011 for around $28k with less than 50k miles, and exactly the same conditions as the M5. Should I expect more problems with this car than the M5?, are those $13k more worth it? Show more replies 0 Reply #17 · Feb 14, 2020 I'm all about the preservation of these special cars and motors. If I ever win mega millions I'd buy some huge acreage out in Texas for Car sanctuary. A nice safe space for these once mighty behemoths to roam wild on salt free tarmac. No Karen's in their suburba-tanks veering into my lane texting while driving. Where the 93 flows freely, emissions don't matter, and no speed signs and over-zealous enforcement to hamper 200 mph speedometers on sunny private property roads. Maybe I'll start a go-fund-me or a kick-starter... For the OP you really need to determine what body style you want. The M5 is the most practical and I'd argue easiest to work on, M6 coupe is the lightest and thus fastest, the M6 vert lets you listen to the exhaust most uninhibited. Regardless, 6 speed is the way to go. #18 · Feb 14, 2020 Yep, usually I buy little cool things like a 2003 325xi Mystic Blue which had messed up axles, knuckles, bearings, etc. It needed a whole suspension update. After fixing it up and changing the head gasket and cleaning it I sold it in better shape than I received. Same thing with the M5. Given it's a more rare Indianapolis Red fully packaged with split rear seats, excluding soft close doors. Changed the bearings, mounts, vanos line, and other maintenance items like plugs and fluids. If I don't keep it forever, the next person will receive a well maintained example. We are merely custodians. #21 · Feb 15, 2020 (Edited) M6, I'm biased and i would not trade my M6 for an M5. I've never driven the M5 but i would hate the thought of anything heavier than my M6. If i could afford it i would reduce the weight of my car by 200lb, but akra exhaust, racing seats, and lithium battery is $$$$, i could buy a used 600cc bike for that money... so yeah, weight reduction cost a lot, so just get the m6 which is 265lbs less.

A coupe versus a 4-door? BMW vs. BMW? You bet! With 1000 bhp between them, which one's the true king?
