I just came from my dealer. My 550i should be here in a couple of weeks and I am so looking forward to getting it. Today, however, he made me an incredible deal. 2008 ///M5 fully loaded, active seats, full leather, soft close doors, etc etc for no money down, 7 MSDs @ $1340/month for 24 months, 15K/yr. The only problems are that I would still need to pay my final 2 payments on my car @ $986/month on my 06 550. I would also miss out on my BMW CCA rebate of $1000 and let's face it, $400 more a month is $400 more a month no matter how sweet a deal it is. One more thing, the color is silverstone which I really don't want only because it's basically the same color I have had for my past 3 cars and honestly, I am sick of it. Another consideration is that my insurance would go up a couple of hundred dollars and the gas mileage would be even more dismal then on my 550. What to do.....hmmmmmm.

I just called Zeckhausen and they do not make dustless brake pads for the ///M5. I am leaning towards no go because I HATE having dirty rims.

I cudda had or V10 or a V8 when I was looking to buy. I opted for the V8 and would do it all over again. Higher price, gas, insurance and taxes aside, I believe the 550i is a more accomodating grocery getter/commuter than the M5.
good luck with your decision

Me too. 12 MPG for a daily driver was too low. Awesome car that M5!
