Conversation Between GT3Ranger and mechs2k

Hello sir,

I came across a decently old post refering to gas mileage and I had some questions regarding your m5 experience. I care about the gas mileage, but this is not what I'm gonna talk about haha. Here is what I would like to know if you have the time to answer:

1. What do you think the 2006 lacks compared to the newer years?

2. did you get an auto or manual?

3. Not knowing that you have a service plan, have you paid or know of someone who has paid for services on the car? I guess, what is to be expected cost-wise?

4. What are service intervals on the v10?

5. Lastly, have there been any big problems or parts that need serious replacement?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm considering a 2006 m5 with 31k miles for a pretty good price. I just want to know what your thoughts were on the vehicle.

Thanks for your time,

-Matt
