I think the car is great. you can have your cake and eat it too. I have read a few complaints about the transmission as other have described. The only thing I would advise is do not drive a German car without a warranty. EVER

I have e60 M5. 2 years of ownership, no problems! even though it is european car, if it is taken cared of properly, the car should not have big issues. had a 2001 e46 M3, and had over 90000 miles and not a single problem! i'd say go for it!! you will love the car!! be sure to get the ones with full leather and HUD!

most luxury cars lose 50% in value after 3 yrs anyway, that's the residual for most cars. last year when i was shopping for m5 (ended up with m3), most m5 loaded were around 96-99k msrp, and i saw a few used selling for 40s. so if you ask me, i think 40k is just about the norm now.
keep in mind, economy is still very very soft. use that to your advantage
