| Message: | Dennis, I can get insurance for £1500 a yr fully comp, I have 8 NCD and my SP60 with 3points for speeding is now gone :) I factored in deprecation at 1.5% a month, which is low as the M5 is a desirable car however their prices appear to be dropping faster than this now! I have been covering anywhere between 15-20k miles a year so used 20k as I am bound to want to drive an M5 more. I currently put my existing 5 through its paces regularly late at night on some of Sussex’s great B roads. That kind of mileage is going to necessitate on an M5 the following: 1. a minimum of two services a year which I would want to be at a BMW main dealer 2. 1 set of tyres 3. 1 set of brakes 4. A hell a lot of cleaning, I thoroughly enjoy detailing my car. Also I have average 24mpg in the 35k that I’ve owned my 2.8 so I based the M5 consumption to be 20mpg. I am under no illusions I would not drive a car like that sedately more like I ‘stole it’ :) which is the point however 20mpg might be pushing it………. I don’t have the spread to hand but all in I think I worked it out to be £9100 for the year so I rounded up to 10k to cover any repairs that would be required. It all adds up pretty quickly.
