2014. All possible options. 78k miles. Below KBB. Incredible condition. Imperial blue/black. Competition package. With one exception (needs new rear tires) the car passed a thorough inspection at my independent with flying colors. I should have it home no later than Friday. The thing is an absolute unicorn.

And, the 335i is STAYING with me, as well. It will transition to the fun/weekend/project/tight-twisty-drives car.

Installed options list:

Inspired me to look locally.. there's a 2013 w/ 77k miles near me for 31k..
They're affordable

I wasn't aware of a high-pressure fuel pump issue.. I'm guessing it's not that big of a deal?
It sits on the tank right.. or is it something funky on the F10?

HPFPs are typically in the engine bay.

I'm not exactly sure of the location, but the warranty on the HPFP got extended out to 120k. Really the only issue of real significance (IMO) I could find was the longstanding N62/N63/S63 valve seal problem and this one passed with flying colors.

Also, my 2014 cost me only a smidge more than the one you just referenced.

I drove it between the dealership and the independent today...the power...the torque...the sound...oh, my...can't wait.

On my 335i, a LPFP sits on top of each side of the fuel tank (underneath the rear seats) and the HPFP is under the hood.

Same on the S4, maybe even most direct injection cars.

Congrats, man...
that is crazy, what a buy! M3 and M4 are great but the M5 is like a Mullet...business up front and party in the back.
You need to go on soul searching drives more often!

Oh and the 335 turning into a weekend twisties machine huh? Does that mean you're gonna lower it? Tune the shit out of it?

Congrats on the new ride. They are extremely impressive machines.

You are going to have to tune the shit out of the 335 now for it not to feel slow. Speaking of tunes those F10 make crazy power with just simple tunes.

J is too practical for that in his old age. He would go supercharger instead of turbo for reliability

So gangster, Tim, keeping both. Congrats! Great taste as usual.

I am a bit late replying to it, but I can relate. I wasn't feeling great the other week. Taking a long drive and spending time with people I haven't seen in a long time was really cathartic.

You know the moment Saintor sees your thread update .. he'll have something to bitch about

All jokes aside, congrats .. the F10 M5 looks like a winner! I'm excited to hear your driving impressions.

Good thing about F10 M5 is , it was out a while ago and so far it has been proven to be pretty reliable relatively speaking...

But damn... welcome back to 11 smile per gallon
