If it could shift for anywhere close to what I would owe on it I would definitely do it. But then I would be exposed to this...

Very interesting. I did look at a few M8s and was interested in a convertible or coupe... but as a side-grade to the M5 and more because BMW just doesn't make an upgrade for me anymore so it is just 'scratching an itch' to change.
I get what you're saying though. The M5 is a very fast family car for 'car guys' ultimately which is why I've loved them (ever since having kids LOL). Also virtually anonymous except for the maybe 2% of guys who even know it is a special car. It is more now that the requirement to have a sedan is waning as the kids get older that I am looking at other 'garage configurations'
I have my Alfa for that 'other' requirement I think you're after (which is why a replacement is so difficult, why I am reluctant to sell it. Some of the guys that have experienced it now 'get it' too). My Alfa and F90 have nearly the same power to weight ratio for reference.
I am not sure there is a luxury one-and-done car because you will trade off the luxury elements if you go elsewhere or down the BMW stack. I don't think an FF/GTC 4 Lusso does the same thing either. These are all more GT cars than actual sportscars...

So i have the car at a dealer for a few weeks now on consignment. Hasnt been sold yet. Lots of people interested and asking questions. 3 people in total actually came out to view with same 3 putting in finance applications. All 3 declined lol.
I dont want to go any lower on the price that i wanted for it.
May as well just keep it for another year since its in perfect nick and do exhaust

IMO, it may sell faster if the car is placed at a BMW dealer.So i have the car at a dealer for a few weeks now on consignment. Hasnt been sold yet.

This is true.... Dont know any dealers that would do consignment without you intending to buy another vehicle from them.
To be fair, i havnt really put any effort into trying to get it sold. Im back at the office 4 days a week which consumes most my time and the car isnt getting used.

BMW was willing to buy my car in in December. Maybe different now. You can request this via the website somewhere iirc
I couldn’t bring myself to do it for what was on offer though it wasn’t insulting. More than WBC.

I dint know this. Will have a look and see.
Would be lekker if there was a dealer network app where a private individual can advertise a car and let the dealers bid for it lol.
