M5>E55>M3, let alone G35s. If you can afford it, go for it.

Re: The New M5!!

It is simply stunning. I can only dream of ever get my hands on this car, but from what I've read they'll be limited production numbers (of course), there will only be a limited number coming too the US (of course) and more importantly they are about 40 grand out of my current price range.
But one can still dream.

Re: The New M5!!

Its an impressive machine. Not a big fan of the styling - its been Bengalized unfortunately. I like the look of the old M5 better.

The engine is sweet though. They got it right this time by making a high revving engine with a short stroke, instead of the M3 engine which is a high revver with a long stroke which is a recipe for mechanical catastrophy.

Re: The New M5!!

Bengalized? Id say more like Maxima-ized. Look at the back angled shot...the windshield, width and exhaust tips SCREAM maxima to me for some reason. I really really really hate these new BMW's. Even with how fast these things would be, Id rather have a current M over these any day.

Re: The New M5!!

Love it! If I had 90Gs to blow it would be on this. I think it looks great, is super fast, rare, what more can you ask for? Hell I would even take a 545.

Re: The New M5!!

exactly I would also like to know like what??

same style I must add...

this would be in the 80-85k range and I would get a hold of this when its 2 years old..in the 55k range

I think it makes more sense that way..

Re: The New M5!!

S55 is a different class though. Maybe if there was an M7...
