WOW! $71k for a 550i. I remember the sticker for my e39 M5 was around $72k.

That is the price... my '08 550i was right there are well. RE: the M5 vs. the 550i, it all comes down to why you are purchasing the car. Personally I feel the new 550i is pefectly positioned. It is refined enough as a daily driver even with the 6MT, and yet with the Sport Pkg. it handles as well as you could ever expect. The stock 360 hp/360 torque provides enough power to enjoy it as a sports sedan... and the real kicker is, when driven conservatively the fuel consumption is 17/18 city and 26/27 hwy. Overall this vehichle is simply a dream-car!
