The best M5

 

[BennyD]

It's good, but, on balance, I would take the V10.

 

[dem maser]

Like the V10 but its not a manual and not as sexy.....

 

[BennyD]

Dem, flappy paddles and non turbos are the way of the future. You will be saying cart springs and live axles are sexy next! And with that, a final goodnight. Goodnight!

 

[dem maser]

Turbos are coming back!! Gnite though....

Not a chance ... I went out to get a V10 but then drove it against the E39 ... Faster ...yes ... more fun...no. To computer aided and did not excite like the E39...

the E39 is the best M5 ever....

 

[GransportFan1]

the E39 is the best M5 ever....

yeah i would go with that, even though it shared 550i parts, E28 M5 looked the best, E39 was the best. E60 is too big and bulky.

 

[Andyk]

Don't get me wrong the E60 is an amazing car .....

 

[GransportFan1]

But it is too complicated.

BMW are taking dep on the new M5, friend put dep down, out in sep at 80k!!

 

[Andyk]

Dem, I know you like the new 5 but I just can not get used to it. It just looks like a big 3 series. Where as E60/E39 had there own design and stood out a mile. New M5 will be great though there is no doubt about that.

 

[GransportFan1]

80K, no way worth it, i thought the RS6 was way over priced at 70k, 80K for an M5, ridiculous.

 

[BennyD]

That is a good point, my dad's Lexus IS, 56 reg, 100,000 miles, the mileage would put a lot of people off but i know the car has always been well cared for. I suppose mileage is not a huge problem on modern cars today.

I would buy a modern diesel with high miles but would be a lot more wary about buying a petrol with the same mileage.

 

[BennyD]

But it is too complicated.

Surely, that's only a problem if it goes wrong.

i mean that you can set the lights to stay on when you turn the engine off and other pointless cr4p it has on it.
