This is as close as you can get to a supercar without being one. Out of the factory it was probably 125k in Canada so bear in mind that that is the car you will be paying to maintain. Used automatics run 30-40k and the much desired stick shift goes around 50-60k but these figures are mileage and condition dependant. They arent that common so if this is what you want then you may have to keep a sharp eye out for a while till one comes along. This car was built to go fast and be driven. It is comfortable, quiet (except for the sound of the beautiful V10 500 bhp engine after 4000 rpm), handles its speed easily, and is a delight to drive. Throttle response is instant and it casually looks like money without being flashy. It takes some getting used to and my early feeling after only having had it for 2 months is that if its well maintained you wont have crazy expenses with it. My understanding is that BMW originally said you can change the oil every 15 000 kms. Maybe that was a selling feature but no engine likes that. A known fault on this car is the rocker bearings which apparently go by about 85 000 kms and then guys replace them with good aftermarket ones which are available. Two things expedite this problem: running the engine hard when its not warmed up to operating temperature, and not changing the oil often enough. Oil breaks down as its used and if you change this oil every 3000 kms with high quality race oil you will drastically prolong the life of the engine and its components. I have the automatic version and I use the paddles to shift while its cold so I dont let the rpms go above 2500-3000. Once its warm you can use the drive mode or paddles and your red line is 8250! It goes like a bat out of hell and I praise the HUD display which allows you to see your speed and gear at all times without taking your eyes off the road. This car features the first generation of the SMG transmission. It shifts like a manual very deliberately but I dont mind this feature at all. If you have some feeling for a car youll soon get used to it. Again these transmissions are known to be touchy but regular transmission services should take care of that. I was lucky enough to get a 2008 with only 78 000 kms on it that appears so far to have been very well maintained. I was out of the door for 40k and that included tax and a 4 year warranty. If youve got a bit of cash are ready for a fun car for summer that will keep pace or outpace most vehicles on the road I think this is a good place to start. Nov 07, 2023

Performance and luxury! The newer models have the V8 vs V10 but have more horsepower/torque than earlier models thanks to the twin turbos. Fun car to drive...Nov 03, 2020
