A lad I know, who's on here, has a V10 M5... and he is getting comically bad MPG, he's regularly seeing single figures. I know it's a weekend car, but fuck that.
I was thinking about changing my E46 M3 for an E90/92 M3 or a V10 M5/M6 until I did some research on them... The E9x series M3 wasn't going to be a big enough jump from my E46 to justify the price difference for me and the running costs of the V10 Ms scared me on a computer screen, I think I'd have a mild heart attack if I was living that for real.
I was looking at cars in the £20-25k bracket, give or take a few... and would ONLY consider an AUC from a BMW dealer if going the V10 route, paying a premium at the front end for the warranty rather than living in fear of something letting go on an un-warrantied car.
Cheers,
Grant
