Im about $ 20k. What really bothers me is when people you with all the money you spent on the 530i, you couldve gotten a M5.
I don't think so.. I was calculating it. and i would still be off by like 10k... and to top it off, insurance, maintenance and gas fees!
And also, once you get the M5, you have to mod it with some wheels, suspension, intake, exhaust... yea.. it will never stop.

Yeah, a stock M5. But once you start modding that thing, it makes modding a standard E60 look cheap! It's all relative my man.

So true, look at EuroCarFan. After getting his M5 his modding expenditure went through the roof.
