Looking through autotrader tonight my mate commented on how the old shape M5 has dropped in price - found 00 - 01 models for 16k (£60k new!!). Sooooooooooooo....thought it would be funny to get a quote, as you do 
5L V8 400BHP ferarri destroyer - how much for 12 months insurance for a 23yr old
Anyone want to hazzard a guess?

£1300 FC?
thats based on the fact that you drove a high grouped car previously and I assume have a good few years NCB?

Get one anyway.
Surely the petrol consumption won't be as bad as the Impreza?

I love that shape 5 series. My 325 had a mpg-omitter on the dash from what I remember it used to spin about as random as poss & head for the small figures when you pegged it
Wish I could afford one Stu....i would be living the dream Running costs would cripple me though!!

Thats true....although thats also the reason I sold it, spent more time on a petrol station forecourt than enjoying myself driving the fucker!!!
Wonder how much a service or disks & pads etc etc are for an M5
