If you had to decide between an M5 stripper or loaded 550i which would you pull the trigger on?

Or would you go for a stripper 650i or stripper 750i?


Oh man, i feel like a kid in a candy store!

I will pick 550i over M5, and 750i over 650i.

How about M5 vs M6 vs Mercedes SL500??

It's been discussed here. If you don't mind about noise and gas mileage, then M5. Otherwise, 550 all the way. You'll be filling up at least twice a week for M5 with $40 each time.

If $ is no object and you don't care about gas mileage, take the M5.

Drive it --- that's all you will need to decide.

I was in the same boat and picked the loaded 550 and have not regretted it but I have a 997 911 CS to fill in the role of sports car on the weekends. I still ooh and awe over the M5 everytime I see one. I think you should get the M5 if gas is not an issue. I use my 550 as daily driver and hate to refill even once a week. The M5 would be at least two to three times a week but oh what fun it would be. If you get a chance to test drive the M5 you will buy it immediately its that good. It haunts your soul after the first drive.

Agree but for sure SMG. My preference.
Didn't know manual is out there yet anyway. I think you'll have to wait alot more for the manual. But what for?
