i agree with socalM5mang. with the steptronic, as an enthusiast driver, you cant just keep it in D when youre looking for power (no offense to anyone). if youre looking for an M5 and willing to go for it, then by all means go for it. good luck.

I know what you mean about the active steering but after getting used to it it is great especially at hi speeds in in the corners...
Sorry if I misread this, but isn't it the case that Active Steering is designed to have less effect on the steering as speed increases?

The problem is the active steering. It's like playing a video game. It feels so unatural. I can't wait to get my 08 without it next week.

I love Active steering on my car. I would never order a car without it. Over 40mph it is not noticeable. I drive a 6spd so an M5 comparison for me would be with a 6spd. I have driven an M5. The active side bolsters and the 400 to 500HP M button on the steering wheel had me dreaming for a couple nights.

For my daily drive the M5 would be wasted along with the additional $24K.
