Why??
Got a 997 Turbo on order for March 2008, so i'll be back in something fast before too long.
Not sure what i'll replace the M5 with. A used 330d or the new 335i or 335d are possible along with many other options.

My monthly Mileage has gone up to between 2000-3000 & is no longer condusive with running an M5. High Mileage M5's are slated when it comes to re-sale so i'm moving out before it gets too high.

Have had the 330xd for two months now and already have close to 5000 miles on it!!!
Go for a diesel. They are soo good. Really powerful and very comfortable. Excellent mileage also

Nothing decided for sure yet, just playing things by ear right now.

Had a 535d M-Sport (DMS) before the M5 so may move to a 335d & again visit DMS to spice it up.

Please understand, LC is for show & has no real purpose other than the giggle factor. The strains on the engine/gearbox are why this is just for show & why BMW chose to block the possibility of doing back to back LC's.
Sometimes id do an LC at each traffic light, and would of course get the gearbox malfunction light, but only on the 5/6th go ...
Pity to see the new transmission is so frail

I've done a few & NEVER had a transmission fault displayed. We obviously drive differently as i'd laugh at anyone doing consecutive launches given it's all for show (pi$$ & wind).
