I finally bit the bullet! Got a great deal on a 2007 M5 Touring (ex BMW AG) with almost every option and only 4.500km. It's Silverstone II with a full leather Silverstone interior.
Two weeks ago I was seriously considering buying a Lexus LS600h but last week's testdrive in an M5 Touring made me realize that I still wanted a driver's car and not a car where you are almost driven (Lexus). The Audi S8 was also a candidate but does not have the sensation the M5 can deliver. I think the S8 is more of an alternative to a 550i then to an M5.
I have already planned the following mods:
21" wheels
Roofrails painted high gloss black
Dension Gateway 500 iPod interface
K&N Typhoon filter
DVD changer
Video interface
Digital TV tuner
Radar detector (Stinger DSI for Benelux members)
Hartge Carbon steering wheel
M-Drivers package, i.e. a delimited top speed (305km/h) and a day long driver's traning on the Nordschleife. All for a mere 3300 Euro (4600 US$).

Usually I don't like Touring cars, but in the case of the M5 .. I prefer the Touring to the sedan .
Congratulations!

I will only get the car in 4-6 weeks. It has to be imported from Germany. So no pics of the actual car yet.
