LMAO, it's a ****ing Holden Commodore.
How much does this cost, in comparision to the BMW.
The BMW is TWICE the car, regardless of 0-100 times.

BMW 545i Auto is 5.9s 0-100. The 5.7L V8 Commodore/Lumina/Chev/Holden is 6.0
If the prices are similar, then you do want the BMW. The difference in build quality will be stunning.

Agree, I know this car when I was living/studying in Sydney.
No comparison. BMW is rightly said, twice the car, quality and ride wise.

I think it's the same as the Pontiac GTO here in the States....
overall I think it's a Aussie Holden, just badged differently in different countries...
I think it has the LT1 V8 - that was found in the Z28/Trans Am - same as the C5 detuned Vette engine.

Sedan = Commodore/Lumina
Coupe = Monaro/GTO
Now comes with the gen III engine (380 BHP), but I'd still rather a BMW.
If I couldn't have a 5er, then it would be a nice choice. But, I *do* have a 5er
