CLS. Exterior design is better than BMW and car looks much more exclusive and rare. It bugs me that M5 does not look much different from 525.

We're lucky , if BMW started a clean sheet build up of an M5 it would be $250,000. Sharing parts and amortization with the other E 60's keeps it quite reasonable for a Super Car
You know what I ment.

If I am going to pay $100K for a car, I don't want it to look as $40K car.
But thats the whole point of an M5... Wolf in Sheep's Clothing... I was sad at first they added the side vents... its looking too different from the regular E60s... What the ///Ms are famous for was it looks normal yet nothing normal about them... internal parts are very different. I LOVE the subtle difference the E39 ///M5 had. Subtle yet distinguish enough. Look at the E34 and E28 M5s... CLASSIC wolf in sheep's clothing...

I still say I'll take the sporty look of the 550i over the sleek but squished look of the CLS.
