I rented one a few years when I was considering the purchase of a 645i convertible. My former boss who owned the M5 V10 back then convinced me not to pull the trigger:
- Replacement parts always cost a fortune and with an 11yo car, there will be quite a few to replace going forward
- The SMG gearbox is very fiddly
- Good luck if the V10 needs to be replaced
- The car is difficult to sell

For the rest, it is a real joy machine...!
