My Ride: 2007 E60 M5
Thumbs up

Hi friends,

Like I said before I am thinking about trade my 2005 545 with a 2006 550i after next September.

My dealer called me today. I was shivered. Look what I saw in flesh.

It costs here about US$ 240K. What shoul I do?

If you can afford it and want one, BUY IT! But if it will ruin you, just simply get the 550 or stay with your current one.

Food for thought:

You can always live in your car - but you can't drive your house.
Hmmmmm.....

Nice pix.

This is the first time I've noticed that the brake pedal is a small one (like you'd see on a manual trans car that needs the room for a clutch pedal as well) and not a wide one (like you'd see on an auto trans car). Wonder why??

$240k? The M5 is good, but not $240k good. Is this due to high import duties or just a greedy dealer?

Btw. the M5 interior in black isn't so special as the lighter interior colours.. It looks a bit ordinary if you ask me.

I've driven the M5, and it's FANTASTIC. If you can you really should.
