    Thanks Daniel,

    I looked up the M5 current finance deal. To be more realistic, I used 12,000 miles instead of 8,000. BMW are offering 0% finance at the moment that *looks* attractive.

    Retail Finance.
    On the road cost £73,375
    Customer deposit - £6,000
    24 monthly payments of £1,102.29
    Cost for owning 2 years : £32,454.

    Outright purchase.
    Autoebid.com £68,885
    Parkers part-exchange value of a 2011-61 plate M5 : £41,060
    Cost for owning 2 years : £27,825

    Eonel, if you'd have looked a few weeks go the monthly cost would have been £480-550! If you go over to the Pistonheads BMW forum you'll see a huuuuge thread on this offer. Many users took them up on the offer because it was a steal.

    It's in the region of £18-20k for 2 years of ownership :)

    These kinds of deals are indeed not the norm, you have to look out for them!
