    Default Is this insanity or is it just me??

    HERE is an E-Bay auction, and if I read this correctly it looks like the winner gets the privilege.....at this point, that privilege is running about $32k.....to be the first one to give the BMW Dealer another, what....$100k or so....for a new M5. Huh? Some people just seem to deserve to be whacked over their heads with a stupid stick! I really don't get it.

    Yeah I think it's pretty safe to say the car actually flys low instead of driving.

    The seller clearly tells you what the auction is about

    "You are bidding on the NUMBER ONE spot at a large Midwestern-region dealer, and the rights to order this vehicle. You are not bidding on the actual vehicle, but the #1 place in line. Winner gets to choose all colors and options, and custom order their M5 as they choose. Delivery location will be disclosed to the winning bidder, but we can arrange nationwide transport."

    More money then sence.

    why not just pay $125 for a bmwcca raffle ticket? if you win you get the whole M5...wouldn't mind picking one up for the tax..

    what do you have to do to get on the list to buy one in the first place? Do you have to put down a deposit?

    Had the Priveledge to sit inside the new E60 M5 today. DAMN AWSOME if you ask me. I will be able to go for a drive on Friday and i cannot wait. I must say.... i did expect more.... mabe i have just been waiting for it so long that it is a little bit of an anti-climax. The ng purr is also too damn refined....
