My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
Yeah didn't see the M6 but it should probably rank right above the M5 due to better aerodynamics.
Man, one of my bucket list items would be to do a 200mph+ run in my M5.

I am with you, where is the M6? Also what about all the AMG MB's?
I would like to see the same list in a couple of years, wonder if all this turbo charging crazy will pay off?
Cubic inches, high rpm, naturally aspirated engine will always be my choice!
The F40 does look like it has been around for awhile, dam we need more old cars like that

Where is the CTS-V on the list? Doesn't it currently hold the title of the fastest sedan on the planet? M5 is now #2 I believe but I still want it.
