    Looking for an M5 as a new BMW Owner

    So, simply put this would be my first BMW purchase ever. I have been looking at all the for sale sites, reading up on each model and am interested in getting some feedback from anyone on which car I should really consider?

    I am currently driving a 2006 F-350 for my daily driver. Getting tired of not driving a car, and a car with the "M" on the front is what I want!

    The truck is for the boat.

    I also want something that is not going to kill me when I have to repair something. I know, this is sometimes unavoidable.

    I want a strong performer and have found myself switching back and forth between an M3, M5 or a 760. Now, the price is a factor, but not the determining factor. I am successful enough to buy new, but not really excited about riding depreciation down over the first 5 years of a new BMW. So, used is just fine.

    Any suggestions on getting something that me and the Mrs's. can really really enjoy? M3, M5 (choice for me) or 7 Series for the whole family trip scenario? I am a bigger guy so room is important. I am 5'11" so big in the horizontal department. Sorta between a linebacker and a 42" waist

    Since the M5 is such a great car with a great history and personally fits my overall criteria, what year should I be looking? How many miles? Who should I have reviewed carefully during the pre-purchase inspection? And what are the items that will bite me in the ass that I need to watch out for?

    Obviously, this is a lot of questions, but I am looking for direction.

    Also, I am open to anyone knows of a low mile, great shape vehicle that has not been run at the track?


    Thanks for helping if you have time.
