My old boss bought one new in '07 ish. It was something else.
I'd love a Touring version. Only worry I have is that whilst the owners reports above are good (although conrods sound like a big job), when you read other websites, people make out that you'd have to be a mad man to run one that's out of warranty.
I hope I get to scratch the itch one day. I may just settle for an RS4 Avant though. 4.2 V8. Although they aren't a patch on an M5 and aren't without their own issues, such as coking heads.
Anyway as I've said before we are living through the golden era of the motor car. Enjoy it and sample what you can. I just need my numbers to come up tonight so I can buy that Carrera GT. :grin:
I don't mind a few internet "horror" stories as it helps keep prices down. All high performance cars are costly to run.
