Had my M5 over a year and its been bombproof, and cost me less to run and maintain than my Cossie used to as a daily driver..... waaaaaayyy less.

My Sapph hasnt seen more than 200 miles since I bought the M5, now I can take my time to rebuild my Cossie into a nice car rather than just fixing it all the time. Defo worth buying if you can afford both mate.
