Advice on a 2007 E60 M5

[Hugo_za]

Important thing to remember about warranties is that they generally don't cover you after the car reaches 10 years of age since first registration...and if they do then the (already limited) cover is dropped by another 50%.

Also, most of them don't cover anything related to oil (head gaskets, valve stems, etc).

Just some food for though...

Excellent!

Has anyone had the big end bearings done recently.

Seems as if Naickers had the clutch, discs and a few other bits done within the last 10,000km which is pleasing, just might want to get piece of mind and do the big end just to be safe.

Anyone had any experience on prices for this in JHB

About R25k from TuneTech. :coolShake:

Will be sending mine in next month.

Is that labour only dude?

Hi all.

Read a few different posts on here regarding buying an older M5

I've found a 2007 M5 with 78,000kms on the clock.

Wanted to get people feedback on what to look out for when buying the car.

Also do any owners have an extended warranty? is there anything available?

I am in the process of buying a car.
I am financing it through WesBank and they offered a limited warranty for R8k once off. It is limited in the sense that if the engine goes, they will only cover R35k. I know there are also other companies that offer warranties that you pay monthly for. Similar types of per component limits exist.

Interesting, my finance is also in place through Wesbank, did this come up when you went to sign documents or at what stage?

It is before the contract stages. So when they draw up the contract they ask you what value added products you want to add.

Seems as though its gone, as the dealer has gone quiet on me, wont reply to emails whatsapp or phone calls.

So wasted my time looking at this one.

Back to the drawing board.
