Needing a bigger car and contemplating a used M5. Found a certified 07 with 17K miles. Silver on black with SMG. Looks like a clean car. Former E46 M3 w/SMG owner and looking forward to getting back in an M again. I've been to the M school in SC so I have driven the S@#$ out of an M5, but not around town. Any comments, suggestions, etc on the possible purchase would be greatly appreciated!!!

Are you channeling Johnny Cochran??
If you're alive you gotta get the 5.
Drive the Lexus and get one in the solar plexus.
We're all channelling Johnnie.
