Thumbs up

Which m5 do i choose?
1. 2006 BMW M5 20k Miles not ceritified. Warranty ends at 2010.

2. 2006 BMW M5 30K Miles certified. Warranty ends at 2012.

There both the same and the ceritifed one is about $2k less. Which is the best to choose? Is 30k miles alot for this car?

I'd probably go w/ #2, 10K of miles diff. on this car is 10K of high rev. miles but still depend on how long you gonna keep the car.

I'm leaning with #2.. while it has 10k more miles, warranty is 2 years longer, and the car is $2k less.

Hi, I bought a used M5 couple of months ago and its the shiznit, beast I should say. Can someone tell me if my car is CPO's and if so, what does that mean? (sorry for the rookie question)

All other things being equal I take #2 in a heart beat. Chances are good you'll be glad you have a CPO at some point. Priceless almost in my book.
