Hi - having owned a fair number of BMWs over the years yet I’ve never achieved the nirvana of M ownership. I am considering getting an F10 M5 (budget ~£25k). I would appreciate any buying advice - what I should look out for etc.

Thanks in advance,

Graham

I can only think the usual of Service and MoT history

Not modified..unless that is your thing and you know what you are looking at

Preferably buy one with the BMW warranty or ensure you can take out a warranty on it

Check / ask about oil consumption - check the digital dipstick

I might be selling mine in the new year
