I noticed this F10 M5 has popped up again on TM after sitting with a Tauranga dealer for most of 2021.
Don't remember what price it was listed at originally but it spent some time in the mid 40's, then was last listed at 40k as recently as a month ago. Makes you wonder how the new South Island dealer thinks they can now attract a 10k premium.
From what I can tell this is an ex-BMW NZ press vehicle - I found various online reviews from local journo's back in 2012 on this same vehicle (when on plate BMWNZ5), also looks like it was no stranger to Hampton Downs at one point to.
At 40k with 135km I think it may be worth a look, depending on maintenance records. But 50k though? No thanks. One thing I noticed from the Tauranga dealer's pics is the front and rear tyres aren't matching, makes you wonder what other cost saving has occurred. The build date indicates this vehicle is an early production car to, which isn't ideal.
Regardless, I love the look of this car, but those steering wheels on the pre-LCI models are hideous!
