06 M5 or 08 550i
been a while after I learn about those, and looking for a good price. I think they have the same price.
can your tell me which one i should pick
Is that OK with them, when the miles more then 80,000.

My Ride: 2008 550i. Murdered. Carbon Black. Painted tail lights, M5 trunk spoiler. RS Technik 15mm spacers (rear). Black 172's.
Agreed. Go with what you want. I made my decision to go with an 08 550i over an 08 M5 for certain reasons. (Price for one, lol) The 550i could be considered more of a family car than the M5. My wife and daughter will be in the car with me often so I wanted something they would be comfortable in. While nothing quite feels like an //M, it is meant to be driven fast, so you need to keep that in mind. You really can't go wrong with either one. It's always nice to have a car that probably has more warranty on it ('08). Although it does look like you are looking at cars with lots of miles already. I do know that some peeps on here say the '06 M5 does have some problems once you get to a certain mileage point. You might wanna PM someone with a little more expertise on that. But test drive both and see what you prefer. I'm thinkin when (maybe you already have) you drive that M5 there's no looking back. Good luck, and Congrats!!

In my area they have the M5 with 75,000miles $27,000. The deal is good, but....the miles too high, is that OK with m5?
Last question is the M5 fit with 2 550i exhaust ?

Search high and low man. I searched 2 months for mine and finally found one for $35 w/ 38K miles damn near loaded. I say keep looking patience is a virtue. Me my myself I am still searching for an aftermarket warranty. Not to deter you from the M5 but that thing is a gas guzzler. I found mine in South Dakota and drove it home to south Georgia. I had to fill up like 7 times.

Maybe i will test drive the 550i and see how much different with the M5

I'd say the gas would be double or maybe even triple on the m5. You won't be able to drive the m5 slowly either. I know when/if I get mine, I"m gonna be wanting to hear that engine everywhere
