M5 BMW is only *really* worth silly money to BMW, but then again, they auctioned off M3 CSL for charity.

I agree, unless your determined to have a M6/5 every time and even then there is no guarantee that the model names won't change.

£44K is more than half what I will be paying for my M6, I would get a second hand M400 Noble for the track instead!

M5 BMW was offered for sale for £6,500 in December last year, through National Numbers. At the time I thought this was a very reasonable price (current asking price for M6 BMW confirms this) so went to buy it. Unfortunately, it was sold before I got my offer in.

Also V10 BMW was being offered in the Sunday papers (privately, I think) for £11,000

Shame, you would have doubled it's value at the very least I reckon, with current M5 hype!:sad3:

I ended up going for M555 BHP for £250..

Other UK plates which might be of interest:

V1 TEM (VITE M = Fast M in French)

I can't believe people are paying that kind of money for a license plate. We pay $25 for a custom plate here in Ohio.

I bought M5 DVM from DVLA for a paltry £250 - absolute bargain if you ask me! Plenty more cheap ones like this if you can get initials to suit.

A mate of mine in Canada recently got his initials RPL - no number - for something like £100! In the UK that with a 1 would be into five figures!!

nice plates.... hehe... Hong Kong will soon have vanity plates available for auctioning... but for now, the plates are still on a letter and number system, but we've been auctioning plates for ages... can't remember that clearly anymore, but many years ago, the plate "9" was sold for HK$13mil.... ouich

Nearly paid £40K for the M5 BMW plate about five years ago, someone else beat me to it grrrrrrr From memory it originally was sold by the DVLA in 1995 for about £5.5K, then went up to mid teens. Are there any links for its sale for £6.5K IMHO no number plate company would sell it for that, as just the number of digits and rarity of letters gives it a current value of a least £10K-£11K without actually meaning anything. I was offered the M5 BMW plate about 9 months ago as part of a deal for between £29K-£36K (cannot remember the exact details) - though had already allocated the readies to another project. The last I heard the M5 BMW plate went for around £56K.
