M5 vs. 5M

pclausen · Jul 4, 2012

Was fooling around with some friends that came over for a little 4th celebration, and they insisted that I put my M5 up against my 5M (JD 5085M). So here are the pics we took.

If, for some reason, I could only have one, it would be the Deere of course!

Im gonna guess the 5M cost more

And you would be correct. The M5 was purchased used for about half of what I paid (or rather will be paying over the next 60 months @ 0%) for the 5085M w/ loader and misc. other accessories.

The M5 did sticker at $96k new. I would never have been able to afford that. Paid $37.5k used 2 years ago.

Both NEW what one would cost more? I know the tractor im looking at now is only a cple hundred difference then what I just paid for my new dually. I havent a clue what a BM'er cost new but I know that DEERE is on up there......

The M5 would edge out the 5M. The tractor with options (loader w/ grapple, etc) list for $88k vs. the $94k for the BMW. Keep in mind that the M5 is a 2006 model, and the 5085M is a 2012 model. A 2010 (last year of the E60 M5) listed at about $110k or so fully optioned. They depreciate way quicker than tractors, which put one within my budget a few years ago.
