it's white. But after looking at all the available options on an '09 I don't see how it could go for over $105 max. In any event, I asked the broker to double check...sounds more like an M6 price although the vehicle itself is definitely an M5

Not abnormal pricing at all...the M5 NEVER stickered above $100k...ever. Even still, at that price it is NOT worth the money.

That seems very steep depreciation...... in one year, it dropped 40,000 dollars Doesn't it usually take a couple of years or so before we see those numbers Usually, they've been averaging a loss of $20,000 to $25,000 a year.

I've seen M5's with a $106 MSRP, but that was including the gas guzzler and destination charges. I don't know where they are coming up with the $137k figure unless this is a Hamann bodied car or somthing like that.

Sounds like some inflated values to me, lol. Maybe an M6, convertible, but not the 5.
