Gotta sell my soul :D

[Nick.Hay]

For one of these!!
I went to the local dealership (100kms away) to feast my eyes on the new M5!! Oh my GOD!! Here's the happy snaps...


Hmmm... Not that different to the 530i sport.


Big front air intakes. Truly F1 inspired, the ducts on the corners of the bumper cool brakes, then get channelled thru under the car to cool gearbox, exhaust, diff...

...Then escape out the rear from the vent between those damn-sexy exhaust pipes!!


The element I was most interested in... the V10. Much to my dismay, the salesman didn't start it up


Grilles on the front guards is a dead giveaway that this monster means business...

[Nick.Hay]

Just as Satan himself would order it... Sapphire Black with Indiannapolis Red leather. Sittin in the driver's seat is immediately comfortable, and pure joy!! Everything is right there within reach, and it all just feels 'right'. You sit very low in the M5, (and it actually felt like sitting in the E34, as I set my seat down as low as possible when I drive.)


However, one look at this gauge made me realise this is no E34... Top speed on that dial has mega "Grin-factor" all on its own!!


What a engineering feat!! Once again BMW raises the stakes in the super-saloon game. Now... Which of you are gonna lend me $240k??

Ohh......ohhhhhh................aWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW W!

Anyone have a cigarette?

[Guelphguy]

Oh my......hhmmm if 24 of us sell our cars, we get to have it once every two months...
doable!

I'd give my soul up any day for one like that if one would take it

Though, ONE thing i hate about the new M5 is the transmission. I can't believe BMW went from E34 M5 nothing-but-manual policy to E60 M5 no-manual-at-all! And in all seriousness, lack of manual would make me think and probaby decide against it even if i had 240K. Please note, to me nothing goes over an M5 (or BMW in general).

Otherwise, your pics gave me goose bumps. Thank you.

Yes, but as far as performance goes, SMG is faster than any driver can shift a real manual transmission ...
