I wouldn't mind owning a M5, I would trade my car in a heartbeat! I've always wanted one when I was younger, The sound of the its growl blows my mind. The power is insane, why wouldn't you want a M5? because of fill ups every 2-3 days? Just think of it as your E60 but with munchies.

I would rather have an M5 over any 545/550 any day. No matter how much gas it uses. I was in down town San Diego last weekend and one pulled up next to me and all i could do is try to hold my jaw up. I lowered my window and turned off the radio told the wife to listen, and when it drove off. It was like a musical of 10 cylinders playing the most beautiful sound you can Possibly hear. (it was stock). I love it.

Well if you got your M5 as scheduled, you have nothing to worry about because no changes were made in 2008. However, I did hear through the grapevine that the M5 may get the DCT (dual clutch tranny) for 2009.

And to add my 2 cents to the discussion, if I could afford the US$ 168,900 starting MSRP for admission (minus the registration cost of 10%, insurance, and the fact that gas costs about US$ 7.50/gallon here in Korea), I would have myself the V10 M5 in a millisecond! As for fuel consumption, any car driven with a heavy right foot gets lousy mileage!
