Also, if I had to pay for the vehicle, is it best to trade now or wait till next year. Which car depriciates faster?

The prices on both are falling like rocks. Also, ask yourself if you really want to own the M5 outside of factory warranty? IMO, I would keep the 550i instead of taking depreciation hit.
good luck

Are the m5 bad after warranty?
No one knows. The M5's are all still in warranty. However, BMW is not CPO'ing them.

My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors
M5s came with NAV I believe (it was never an option) and they can now be CPOd.
That said, I think it is about a straight up trade - neither car is holding its value too well today.

I just talked to the guy and he wanted 57.8k for the m5 but it is not CPO'd. They are willing to offer me upper 40's for my vehicle without looking at it. I told him I am willing to spend at most 4k to be in the m5. What do you think? Would this be a fair deal?
