My Ride: '04 545i - fully loaded, everything but Navi
Default

My trainer actually bought one of these just 2 weeks ago. He finally let me drive it and it has a nice kick of power. 68 more hp than my '04 545i, but the ride is more stiff and rough. The engine has a louder grunt and the handling is not nearly as precise and smooth as a BMW, but overall, to get almost as much car at about half the price will work for many. I think the truly discerning driver will stick with a used 5 series at the same price as a new G8 GT.

My 2 cents, but I know very little compared to you guys.

You think the G8 GT is nice, wait till you see what the G8 GXP has in store. LS3! 415+hp/415+tq, Tremec 6spd, brembo brakes, and list goes on...
