That's just my 2p and unbiased opinion having driven both marques.Resale values are generally low in this country, as you probably already figured that out hence your upcoming purchase. Having said that, the M5 will be more saleable when you decide to upgrade, because it is and always will be an enthusiast, collector's car. An AMG is special, but it would have been long-outdated by then and AMG has a smaller following of enthusiasts here. Somply put, it will be much easier to find maintenance specialists, parts and members' help with a BMW than an AMG.It would seem that Mercedes hails the most "prestigious" image in Msia, but here in Blighty, the M5 amongst many other better marques, rules too and will happily hold it's ground against newer luxury marques for many years to come.Make a good pick, test drive carefully, HPI check it throughly and then love it till its time to upgrade.... you can't go wrong really.Best classified can be found in Autotrader.co.uk (whole nation) and Pistonheads.com (the better ones owned by enthusiasts *hint* )------</blockquote>
