Please talk me out of killing myself, M5 as first car!

Been looking around and i think you can get a decent e34 m5 for around £5k and insurance is strangely only around £2k.

Can people please quote running costs and other horror stories to stop me from buying one and stacking it jez style!

But good luck to the lad, if thats what he wants, go for it. I'll wait for the "Ive crashed" post

Also, is that 2.5k TPFT or FC?

Third party, got a big payrise this year so not too woried about losing the money, just worried about injuring myself.

Just to clear things up, Sone have you processed this any further than OMG M5?

not really, but it was killing me to think of spending 2k for a fiesta + insurance when i can get a dream car for £7k ish?

to be honest i never have liked bmws, slept on it and gone off the idea now. I only really wanted it to show off at work with. Could probably afford to run one but don't want to spend 50% plus of my spare money doing so.

Going to have look at more sensible 2.0 accord later

I don't like BM's but the M5 is something special, point of this thread was i thought someone else hmay of done the same in the past and can give me the benefit of there experiance.
