Rudy,
Did you check the price differential for the fully loaded 550 and the M5? With every option, the 550 starts to get pretty close to the M. For a little more money (realtively speaking, you could have the ultimate ultimate driving machine.

Then no color choises would matter anymore.

I'm not teasing. My lease is up in September and I have to make the same decision soon. I am hoping Rudy does it, then I can always "bame" him my my wife asks why I spent so much on a car. "But honey, Rudy did it and he is a moderator!"
Damn! I knew I should have leased 
, then I could be doing the same thing!

For me, as much as I love the M5 and SMG, I figured I'd enjoy the toys more on a daily basis, on trips, etc. so I'm going to stick to the 550i for now. Hey, you never know, maybe in 3 years I'll take the plunge and go for an M5 with all the toys!!
