I'd take any of them, actually.
Clarkson is a boob if you ask me, however.
I saw him do a review on the M5. Beside the fact that he spent a lot of time bashing the iDrive, he tried to prove a point by showing how changing the volume using the steering wheel controls resulted in changing the radio station. Well No $hit Sherlock! - especially when he was using the arrow buttons (which change the radio stations) as opposed to using the correct button ( + and - ) which are the actual volume controls.
Why didn't he just push the trunk release button and bitch that the hood didn't open. Or why doesn't he complain about how you can't lock the doors using the iDrive knob (because you can't)!
Besides the fact that he's a douche bag, I actually like the show.

I watched the Top Gear show and to be honest, I love BMWs, but 
can someone please explain how a car with a +- 160 Bhp advantage over the 911 got beat by about 6 seconds? In racing terms, "go back to the drawing boards" . What an embarrasment. The sad part about that show was that my dad had an order done for the M6 and after seeing the show.... :thumbsdown: 'order cancelled'! He is a BMW freak and just was shocked. He is now thinking about a Continental GT. 
I was so looking forward to try the LC.
