What am I getting myself into if I get a 2008 m5?
I'm looking at a 2008 m5 that has about 100,000 km (about 60K miles), and they are asking $45K (bmw dealership).
Seeing as the dealership is selling it, it is 'certified' and I am assuing that means it is in pretty decent condition.
In terms of maintainence etc., should I be expecting to pay $2k/year in servicing this vehicle? Are there certain lemon years I should know about?
I appreciate the brutal honest truth

My friend too much money ... I wouldn't pay that much money for that car . Do a little research before buying and one quick advise !!! When buying a car at a dealer always go with your mind set on a price you want to spend . No matter what they offer you don't give in stand your ground tell them you are going to another dealer . Also the most important step is always go at the end of the month to the dealer why ? Cause that's when they move the cars to another dealer when they don't sell . So they ain't going to let the car go for,nothing . Hope you get the point . Much luck .

Get to know the available options for the e60 M5.
I paid $36k for my '08 and it had about 60k miles. I really liked the color combo, the rear sun shades, convenient access, and soft close doors. I would have paid more if it had the Alcantara headliner, the full leather, or the air conditioned seats (mine are heated only).

A "Certified" 2008 car will have a warranty that expires in 2014 (so it's not warrantied for very long), and it DOES seem pretty expensive too! Good luck with your decision!
