I buy a new ///M car almost every year. The E60 M5 is a blast on the freeway (that motor is excellent) but the newer M3's are night and day better.
For $50k you can get a great E92 M3.

I couldn't agree more! Don't forget: the basic engine is the same both in the m3 and in the m5. I really would go for a very nice M3 (competition) with DCT just because of the gearbox! Yes, M5 + Meisterschaft is a win-win-combo, but with a good aftermarket exhaust the M3 will sound awesome too!

couldnt find any M3's or even an e-class AMG for sale
as for the M5 i know the car looks dated Now but its one the few cars that are clean and has decent mileage
the only 2 cars that i saw that are clean , is the M5 and the CtsV

i Love Amg's but haven't found any clean ones
my sister owns a 2010 SLK 55 AMG and My Brother owns a 2013 C63 AMG
as for the M5 love the V10 Motor and the car is clean, major service was recently done, so fresh fluids
some minor or little scratches that the dealer will fix
thought of the Cadillac CtsV though faster and a newer model 09
im loving the Bimmer more !!

Not such a huge fan of the CTS-V. damn quick and thats about it.
M5 should be a fun car btw, get an exhaust system and start scaring people in tunnels

i cant afford to buy a brand new E63 at 120K
as for the M5 it already has a Meisterschaft exhaust which sounds damn good too
but now i'm hesitant about the maintenance Costs
going to inspec the car in a few days

M5 i'd say is a reasonable car, has the power and has the space as well. Let us know 7abeebi what you get! and show us some pictures too!

I have a few friends here with M5's, don't hear them complain much about the car. Treat the car right it treats you back right as they say.

SMG is G-D awful had a 5 series in 2005 with that thing... other then that M5 is probably the most brilliant saloon ever made, maybe throw S8 in as well.
