My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
Well, I just figured out why BMW is the best. As I read other forums (lexus, MB,etc) - they discuss the pros and cons of the e60 as much as we do. For some reason the e60 just has something about it that makes people talk about it and compare their car to it. And they always give the reason why they did not buy the BMW not why they bought their car. Seems strange. I guess it it good to be on top.

Here's mine
1) M5 suspension is too harsh for a MB driver
2) Rims are too big
3) Tires wears out too fast because of LC
4) Too expensive, in the price range of a S-class
5) SMG not smooth in auto mode
6) No fog lights for a car in this price range
7) Average Joe doesn't realize this car is an M5 and tells you that "it look kinda different"
8) iDrive is hard to use
9) The car always go over speed limit easily
10) The aggressive look of the car induces drag racing.
But I will live with all these and have the M5 please
, ship one over to HK right now
