I have an E46 M3 now. In fact it's my second one. I also have one in Singapore. Both are for sale...
Maybe I'll just sell an arm and a leg to get the M5?
The thing with the M5 is, I can't seem to grasp the concept of spending US$170k (excluding registration which is 10%) on a car that will change in less than 2 years... 
Depreciation near the time of change and after change would be ridiculous!

The 166s are a nice looking wheel. One of the members on here, 'BigMike' just recently bought 166s (OEM) for his E60. Bought them from Garry at Newport BMW for a phenomenal price! I'm a 167 fan myself.

167's are the best!! Only reason I didn't get them is cuz I don't plan to get Brembo's. If I did, 167's would be the ONLY option I would consider.
Also, Seoulman, just get the damn E60! LOL Fergitabout the M5 -- Way too much $$ for Korea and it's gonna be out in a year and a half!!! If the M5 had just come out, I might tell ya to go for it! But it's at the end of its cycle. Forget it man!
OK, and I end this post with another "Tony, F**K YOU!" LOL

We've passed the 300 post mark on this thread! I'd be lying if I didn't admit at times I thought this thread might crash and burn (and it still may if we don't keep the momentum going) it the first few days it started. Thanks to all of you who are in here regularly posting! 
And to the rest of you, come on! What are you waiting for?

Yeah, I bought some 166's from Garry last week.... and this is my second pair I've bought the last 6 weeks. Why? Well because I had bought a pair from Quad_M (Tony) who took my money and didn't ship the 166's. So Tony, F**K YOU and hope you enjoy federal prison.
OK, that felt better!

Besides, if I didn't get the E60, how could I use those lovely 167 OEMs! As for Tony, he probably will get F***ED, by his cellmate in prison~

I know in the end that the more sensible decision will prevail~ meaning the E60, but this waiting is just playing with my head! Besides, if I didn't get the E60, how could I use those lovely 167 OEMs!

I just might have to get it. i-Drive myself crazy for a month longer! But I have to make a decision quick. We're into September and the BMW factory should be going back into production for the MY 2009 5'er in the next couple of days... If I don't make a decision soon, the decision will probably be made for me!

I haven't decided yet... I've been doing some searches on the forum and it looks like everyone is waiting for the new i-Drive. I just might have to get it. i-Drive myself crazy for a month longer!
