Wow,

Already saw three M5s around here. Those guys were so arrogant. I saw them different times different days. Two of them (different days) got right next me and pressed the gas very hard so that I could hear their fine sound

They looked at me as if i am driving a crappy car. (noticed i did not make fun of any car companies like yugo..etc).

Yes yes..an M5 is an M5 but please dont let the air get too much in your head.

Must have been a bad bunch or they were having a bad day.

I never turn my nose up at any other cars/owners. I had a 535d M-Sport before the M5 & an Audi RS6 before that.

People own different cars for different reasons & i know full well that the cars people drive are not really an indicator of wealth or status.

the m5 owners i know/met have all been really nice, especially the members of m5board.com

Yes, we M5 owners are all very nice and drive very careful - never push it hard and don?t make any unnecessary noise

Or maybe it?s the other way?

Or a mix of both?

Absolutely not.
I've known a couple of people who drive cars worth approximately $20,000 more than my [lowly] e60, yet they drive them home and park it in the garage of the crappy apartment they are renting.

You would cry if you knew what Bill Gates is driving.

My dad plastered Bill Gates' house and I just went salmon fishing in front of his house last weekend. His house and cars are insane. Sorry, I guess that's not really relevant to the convo.

No matter what people are driving there is always going to be a couple people that think they're better than everyone else. You really can't do anything about it except ignore it.

I dont know maybe the "BUNCH" I saw around are not the nice type. I guess!

But i always think a car is a car..no matter if it is not as powerful or luxury as others..that is my thinking.



hey not every one can have my sense of humor or so down to earth

That's too bad the guy was a butthead. Most M5er's I know are good guys - not trying to impress people with their car (like some brands we know). I always welcome and exchange thumbs-up to a fellow car enthusiast no matter what he's driving.

Curious, what does Bill Gate drive? I thought he didn't drive because the bus was better on time.

It's a competitive world, so most people act that way, which doesn't justify anything. It helps to understand why people act the way they do.

There will always be a kid in the playground that's a show off, but with the passing of time, it all fades away. Such is life and we are all guilty of it at some point in our life. You'll be lying if you deny it.

Well, to be honest, he doesn't have that many cars, or at least not that many flashy cars. He drives a 1999 911 convertible to work. Although he does have a 1988 Porsche 959 Coupe that is one of only 230 in the world. He's really not supposed to be able to have or drive that car in the US because of it's emissions and unkown crash rating, but he managed to get President Clinton to pass a bill that allows him to drive it. His house is 50,000 square feet with an addition 16,000 square feet of garage and outbuilding space. His 10 car garage is underground, and with the flip of a switch it turns into a basketball court. He has a personal 4 car garage, his staff has their own garage, and there's a 6 car garage accross from the main entry. Just to give you an idea.
