Just looked on ebay and there must be at least 6 or 7 of them for sale at the moment!!!
For such a rare car, I can't believe so many are for sale at the same time!
I've never even seen another one on the road!!!
What's going on?
Why is everyone selling their cars??

Come on Steve
I think you know why a few are letting them go.
You are percevereing with yours & whilst it is having a a couple of birthdays all at once, you are going to be left with a nice sorted M5 presently.
Its good spec & with a bit of cosmetic paint on the front end to get rid of chips, you will have a winner.
There are many who are tempted by the very low purchase price but soon find out how much of somebody elses trouble they have bought.
They are not prepared to spend Porche / Ferrari running costs putting them right.
You can see the reasoning.
Last October I was on the edge of ditching the b**ch after 4 yrs due to many problems occuring one after another.
I sat down & asked what I was going to replace it with.
If I went for another M5, it would be an E39 but that would have to come with a BMW warranty for very obvious reasons.
So you soon find that you are going to outlay £20k plus for some reassurance that you are not footing the cost for changing ABS wheel sensors with every oil service. Thats the least of it from what I understand.
You have to really want this model of M5 & thats where it starts & ends.
I like them but they can be a cruel mistress.
