I kind of guessed so. If I lived in Brazil I would probably have bought a car with B7-panzer

Daily driver. It doesn't matter what I paid for the car, I'm always in fear of paint scrapes and door dings. Having the M5 only made that a marginally greater concern due to its price tag and my doubled efforts to keep it looking pretty. The mileage is bad, but it's not terrible. I average about the same as my Toyota Landcruiser in normal use, but on road trips get close to 20mpg. The gas tank is small for the mileage of the car, but oh well.

Ditto...have a Landcruiser as well, and any truck on the road you see is in the same boat....let's see..........most any 1/2 ton pickup or a M5? 12 mpg either way duh!

tank is small, fill-ups frequent, smiles per gallon-immeasurable!

All this talk about gas mileage is somewhat odd to me....difference between 12 and 15....who cares??

Don't know too many 2 ton sedans that can do what this car does...

Buy the car and drive it....getting my break-in service done as we speak.....now I can open her up a bit!

Daily Driver. Dealer did the 2000km service and now with all these ponies, I feel my drivers license slipping through my hand. Holy crap this car is fast. Way too much fun to use as a weekend car only. And it sounds so sweet.
