Thank you to all the members who helped make the M5 part out such a success The shipping process will begin Monday morning. A special thank you to P'Tom for the opportunity to drive the M5 and for tipping me off on the HUGE clearance sale. After making a few phone calls, I was informed that Monday would be the final day MBZ would be offering their current promotions. I went down this afternoon to purchase my next vehicle! I won't be going to far since all the other forums are Assuming I won't be chased out of e60.net

E60 M5 10 MPH avg
W212 E63 18 MPH avg

Reasons for purchasing the w212 amg:
1. Cost me far less than the m5 (21k off msrp)
2. Just as fast, if not faster than the m5 (525hp)
3. Better gas mileage (roughly 100 extra miles vs m5)
4. should hold me over until the f10 m5

Congrats David. E63 is a fantastic ride and a great DD as well. Can't wait to see it when I am in the LA area.
