F10 M5 Contract hire

[Sunglasses Ron]

Look up mitchy on the RS forums, he had one to replace his TTRS with. Was a short lived experience after his wife spun it, it couldn't match the mapped TTRS 1/4 mile times, and the engine blew up after a DMS map.

Really?!?!   I didn't realise it blew up?!?! How did he stand with the dealer after that?  

I knew his Mrs got it a bit broadside coming off a RA, didn't realise she spun it? Not being funny, but to spin the car would involve turning all aids off and why would she do that if she was a bag of nerves driving it?   With traction/stability control on it wouldn't do anything of the sort.. There must be more to it if you ask me..

The only reason it wouldn't match his 1/4 mile times is down to traction and RWD.. Name me a practical 2wd car that would match an 11.3 1/4 mile this side of a Ferrari F12? On the move it wouldn't have any problem IMO and when mapped it would rip the TT a new one (if it doesn't blow up that is  )..

My brother (Works for in the lease industry) was telling me last week about new M5 being 400+VAt per month, one of my mates recently sold his 2006 M5 and has asked my brother to sort one for him

BMW warranted it no question asked.

Yeah I was wondering that aswell, afaik she "spun" it with the kids in the car. Im sure those where Craig's words.

I've seen the performance figures of the m6 with the competition pack and it's basically as quick as the new turbo S, although some reckon the press cars supplied where BMW specials as the figures are just insane and don't match up with what the new m6 is achieving in the GTboard videos etc.

Doesn't surprise me to be honest judging by this (non competition pack M6).

Some great deals out there on M5 leasing at the moment. It wouldnt take much convincing if i was in the market for a bigger car.

[Scottymon]

A lot of the BMW and Merc. lease pricing seem very good value for money when comparing against a comparable "lesser" brand... must be to do with value of the car at the end of the term.  For example you can lease a BM 330D F30 for the same as a Ford Mondeo 2.2TDCI .

True got a friend with a 507 edition c63 coupe and he pays 450 a month over 2 years. Not bad at all, at that price I'd get one for the GF but she's worried about getting carjacked as she works in a rough area lol :(

[Deako]

Surely thats business lease prices on the C63?

[Poverty]

Could very well be but I've seen personal ones for 499 a month before with 5k deposit

[tony_danza]

Aye, they're really trying to get people into them, so there's a healthy stock of 'used with a bit of warranty' for resale in 2 years - where they'll make a tonne of money back (or, so is the gamble).

I'd happily smash around in an M5. Likewise an XF-RS.

[Oli]

This is exactly what they are doing, not many people want to pay £75k+ for a super saloon, so get the depreciation paid, and top up the used market.

And our RS is in for some warranty work at present and we have an A6 all-road as a courtesy car, and my wife hates having a big car, so the M5 is off the radar!!  Shame, as Id have liked to try one, for a couple of years!  Looks like we will wait for the new RS3
