$87.000 -> $80.000 in one year. To me it sound like too much. If I only lost $7.000 in a year I would switch car all the time...
Original sticker may have been $87K but I'm willing to bet the first owner paid well over that...unless he has a really good relationship with the dealer, which he might since he buys a new car every year. Second thing, what model year is the M5 (2007?) What are the colors and options on both? I have kids/infants and purposely avoided the sun shade...just too easy for them to reach up and yank it off so tinting is the way to go. Finally at 3K+ the M5 is practically brand new, so if the color combo is right, I'd go for M5, if its an 07, slam dunk!

Check out the service record of the M5 ...

I bought a brand new 2004 SL55 AMG that was a lemon after about the first 3 weeks that I owned it. Less than one year old and approx 2200 miles on it when I traded it back in and I bought a brand new 2005 SL55 AMG.

Even though the '04 was under warranty it was a pain in the a$$, always in the shop it seemed. The '05 has been a dream machine with no problems. The dealer that had my old 2004 SL 55 on his lot to resell it was representing it as a car that "A car guy that just had to have the latest traded it in just like he always does every year." So ... Do yourself a favor and check out it's service record and also check out the VIN with CarMax to see if it has been in any accidents!! Just my .02cents ...
