KB said:A 2007 M5 with the V10. Kept it only six months and sold it for even money. Did not have any problems myself but got tired of reading potential problems - smg failure and red cog of death stories etc on the m5board. Just did not have the stomach to see if I would be okay or be a victim at some point. I think my 993 I've had for 12 years laughed at the M5 since they shared the garage together. Went something like this - Told you he will get rid of you soon if he even thinks you are not reliable like me. Yeah you have 500 hp but you need a battery tender every couple of days. I've never needed one and I start on first crank every time. When I started taking the car tags off the m5 to go trade it in, I swear I heard the air cooled fans running briefly. If you don't get it, you don't get it! Cheers guys and happy holidays.

Had it for 3 years, it consumed $30,000 + in parts (not inc labour), would error on something every week or so and ate expensive, complex and unrepairable parts. I am told this experience isn't unusual.
