Congrats on the M5! These things lease for next to nothing especially as they bumped the residuals for MY19.

Well, that Panamera didn’t last long
Wasn’t that an ‘18 Turbo? Trade for a lease? Cash out?
Hope you didn’t take a bath on it; few people can walk away unscathed from a Panamera...

You mean there is no one that can walk away.... Pannys are great cars but their price points are sadly brutal. I had the 40k offer on Turbo and ran. But they do drive rather well.

It was a 19 GT silver car going to Nashville. It is an Autobahn car and not a fun car to toss around daily. They gave me decent $$ but yes I lost $$$. I’ll just say that my GT and this M5 are perfect for me right now.

The 19 M5’s are THE performance bargain. M5 comp or an E53 for the same money? Easy choice.
