The state of the market at that time may have contributed to this effect. However, wouldn't you agree that in most metro areas there are plenty of folks with plenty of money to burn on cars, 2001 or 2008? There is always the folks who are more badge conscious, have lots of $ and too little time to plan ahead with research or deposits. I'd be willing to be the new M goes for $10k over somewhat commonly. Lastly isn't your closing sentence just a slight exaggeration, "unlimited funds"? |

It's certainly a matter of opinion, but I think there are more choices in the same price range this time around, and that will affect demand.

I guess those choices just look more attractive to me now (in comparison).... I have also considered that an M5 can be had with a considerable discount, whereas the M3 with decent options will go for full MSRP and be high 60's... putting it 10-15 away from an M5... |

As to the latter, some ///M5's can be had at a discount, but most are still well above the ///M3's cost. I did see an 05 ///M5 at Riverside BMW about two months ago that was priced in the mid-40k range. It was IB, SMG, etc. Nice car too! |

BTW McKenna ran an ad in the LA Times yesterday... $10,000 off MSRP for a 2008 M5. I trolled the lot at Shelly and saw about 6 of them sitting there. |

Did BMW ever fix the DSC problem with the 6 speed M5s?
