Hi guys,
what's your opinion???
A friend of mine sold his M5 today - a great car (I will post a few pics in the next days...) to change it into a Ferrari 430 - into a FIAT.
:thumbsdown:
No, can't understand that, a BMW M5 into a Ferrari.

If I am understanding this correctly... he traded in his M5 and got a Ferrari F430? Ummmm.... I would do that in a second. The M5 is a beast, but no comparison to the 430. Unless you need the space of the M5, I think most everyone would take the 430 over the M5.
ILL GO WITH THE F430......

If I had the means to purchase and maintain the F430, and passenger/luggage space was not in the equation, the decision would take about two seconds.

My Ride: 2008 535i w/ Sports & Permium Pkg. Silv/Blk
2008 VW R32 w/Nav.
1992 VW Corrado Silv/Blk-retired
2001 530i Sports/Premium-retired
If one can afford a F430, why would you need to TRADE a M5 to get it, the price of the 2 cars is so far apart. Just keep both.

ok, ok,
so many Ferrari Fans in here
Sorry, not my car, not my brand - maybe a 997 turbo, a Maserati Quattroporte, just cool car's (like e60's
) as cool as the driver are , IMO Ferrari and its drivers are some kind of poser :thumbsdown:
And no, I'm neither jealous nor saying Ferrari is not a perfect car - just thought, BMW is the dimension
