Hi, No, friends did not lie to me, they told me the truth, after all they work for bmw. 15,000miles is a lot for a new S5, I wouldn't consider it, Yeah, you should be scare regarding the warranty, unless you're in a good position financially. Once out of warranty, German cars can be quite expensive to fix. My cousin friend recently purchased a cls63 amg in 2009,l I think ... Read More...

Hello, I am sorry I haven't been able to post lately. I have been incredibly busy at work. Anyways, friends left a bad taste in your mouth about BMW? I've heard similar things, although I am someone who has to see it to believe it. I have actually considered other cars, for example the Infiniti G37's are fantastic looking. I haven't had a chance to test drive one yet, ... Read More...

I bought my 2009 S5 on July 31, 2008. It is quartz grey metallic, has the navigation plus, the technology package, the premium sound system and the carbon inlays. I paid $59440 for it. It is the nicest car I have ever had...BMW or Audi :) Read More...

Hello, I myself am trying to convince myself to not buy such an expensive car,but its hard to decide. Its easy to buy an expensive car, but paying for the next 5 years will be a big headache. Do remember that there will always be a better car coming. Thats a smart choice for looking at a used S5,A5. I asked you about test driving other cars, but you didn't reply anything, ...

Thanks for the input regarding the A5, it gives some perspective. I have looked around and am taking the advice from Amdscot. I decided to try and look for a used S5 or possibly shoot for an A5 and push more into savings. I think both are fantastic cars( I have test driven both ), but I do enjoy the response time of the S5. I am both excited and nervous about such a big purchase, ... Read More...

Hi, I noted the advice you gave to (AudiS5) I was thinking about doing a similar thing as (AudiS5) is doing, but without taking such a big 5 years loan, and for a different car, not the S5. I might take up on your advice and think about what you said. You're right there are many cars to choose from, which aren't as expensive. I'll most probably go for a Japanese car. Read More...

Hello, I've read your messages, and I see your very eager to purchase an S5, I am in a similar situation as you are, but not for buying the S5, but a different car, and not by taking a 5 years loan. Since this will be your first purchase for such an expensive car, have you test driven other cars? For example, 135i,335i, there is a newer E class coupe coming, IS F, but I think ... Read More...

S5 is a very good looking car. But i will not spend almost 70k OTD for that car. There are a lot of choice at that price point. I would consider a BMW 335i or maybe wait for the new MB E Class coupe. As amdscot said, $1300 / month car payment and insurance is a lot of money. I would rather invest it on something else. Read More...

S5's are still pretty rare. I would say you'd be doing well to get a couple of grand off at the moment. If you start ordering with particular options, you may get no discount at all. There's little in the way of finance deals on A5/S5's either. $270 a month for insurance is insane as well. You're going to end up paying $1300+ for car and insurance alone. Try bankrate.com. ...
