There are many used c63s on the market but as for bmw m5 there are very few that are clean and running well.

I'm in the market for a bmw m5 right now, i've seen them all from vancouver to richmond to surrey and there aren't that many clean ones.

Excelsis 12-05-2011 08:26 PM

i don't know about you guys

but i never liked how the stock c63 looks like

maybe because i see them left and right in richmond :rolleyes:

and isn't rocksforsale selling a m5 on rs?

donjalapeno 12-05-2011 09:15 PM

Rockforsale has a 530.....and I totally agree C63 is way too common

there are allot of cheap 06 M5 selling for high 30s. I would definitely stay away from those ones....all it takes is a SMG Pump or Vanos issue and you are out $10K.....at this stage of the game get a 08+ LCI, the 06-07 are looking dated........a good price for a 08-10 LCI with low kms is approx. $55 to $75K

When I bought my M5, i was considering the C63 due to value pricing, but in the end I decided on the M5 is because the C63 is still a C class sedan with a big heart.

Yeah I have done a lot of research on the bmw m5, the only good one out for sale right now is the 2009 alpine white one for 71k.

I love the bmw white.

09 are rare, price is OK for a wht one, but kms are high....fair price would be $62K-$68K....alpine white is the way to go!

The guy isnt firm on the price i'm sure if i was to settle on that one i could talk it down to 62-65. :concentrate:

No i have not :c

I'm holding off until I find the right one , hahah it is like finding a wife but I rather get a bmw m5 at least it won't bitch ;) .

If I don't find one locally I might get one from the states.

Z3guy 12-06-2011 11:42 AM

^ a few months ago there was a 08 alpine white one with low kms from NY on 6speedonline

the 06-07 are looking dated because the only difference between them on the exterior are the headlights and tailights? Which is only a very slight change and you can get adaptors to upgrade to the LCI tails.

vanos and smg pump issues both resolved after production date of 01/06 and you can buy an extended warrenty on m5board from a sponsor that sells NAC exclusionary plan for around 3500-4000. A local member got that plan and had no problems making a claim at autowest bmw.

I got mine from San Francisco last year and it was a easy process. I wanted only a fully loaded, IB exterior, black interior. So it was hard to find locally.

Z3guy 12-06-2011 11:55 AM

^ I used to have an 06 550i and the 08 LCI+ is definitely a step up, the headlights and taillights do a make a big difference, but it is the upgraded interior that makes a substantial step foward (new buttons, i drive, door panels, gauges, etc.)....defintitely the materials used are much better.

Firmware 12-06-2011 11:58 AM

Damn we just turned this into a M5 thread xD

Yeah i want a Alphine white one , either black or red interior.

Z3guy 12-06-2011 12:03 PM

^ there is a 07 white one with red interior for sale....it's got ugly wht wheels though....I love the red interior, but I am worried it would be hard for resale.....

JoshuaWong 12-06-2011 12:06 PM

since this is now a M5 thread lol.... M5> C63 IMO that V10 sound alone is enough justification. But its a shame the M5 is a bit fragile, things just break .

Z3guy 12-06-2011 12:08 PM

^ I would be scared to own one with a factory or after market warranty.

like I said, the taillights can be changed and the headlights are a little nicer, but its not big. Interior I agree is nicer and the new i-drive with the CIC only came on the 2010. So even if you go and buy a 2008-2009, you will only have the CCC. As for gauges, it remained the same. Material wise, I dont see any difference as I have the full leather package and compared with the LCI I see no difference.

Everyone see things differently, but to me I didnt mind the 06-07 at all. Do your research and you will be able to know what to stay away from. One thing we can agree on is that the V10 sounds insane!

The hood was damage, there were dings everywhere.

'Shady guys.

<3 v10 over the new twin turbo v8!

Yeah i want a 09-10 one with low kms *cross fingers*

Z3guy 12-06-2011 12:28 PM

^ 09-10 is hard to go wrong, once the F10 arrives in spring, the e60s will start seriously dropping in price

Iceman-19 12-06-2011 02:38 PM

Anyways, back to retake my thread. With the C63, what are the differences that are significant over the model years? Like if I picked up an 08 or 09, what would I be missing out on vs a 10/11/12?

did a little search on the c63 forum, I think biggest difference is the Ipod interface on the nav screen when you plug in your iPhone. I think the 09's and before have a different design signal light on the side mirrors also. Other than that performance should be the same, unless you want the P31 package.

Someone earlier said to avoid the p31 package on the older cars? What's the URL for the c63 forum?

Yeh I went to see his car, it was the one I was talking about for 71g.

Probably the cleanest one on the market.

The M5 talk is kind of annoying now, can you take it to PM?
