Does an M5 count as a 5 series?

M5 = MSRP $81,200 with a nice 12 month wait for it.
550i = 58k

Exactly, I'm not going to wait 12 months for a car.

Dalai lama · 10-19-2005, 11:33 AM

Go with the m5

justsexxx · 10-19-2005, 12:03 PM

I was thinking about the 5.16

liquidmoe · 10-19-2005, 12:28 PM

If you are a serious driver dont get the 550i 6spd, my brother has had his 545i 6spd for about 1-2 years and its a good car, good engine, but the overall internals arent great. It's much looser on the road than it should be, definitely needs to have a better suspension, strut bars, and the like, plus their default tires are crap unless you get some Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

So if you are planning on driving it get the M5, even with a years wait its worth it. The car is a monster, but its not even about the power, its the handling that's a million times better that really sells that car. The 545i/550i is no slouch, but handling wise it needs so much more work.

You may also want to avoid active steering, personally Im not a huge fan of it.

Oh also forgot to mention that the transmission, the gear selector, and the clutch all have a very detached feeling.

I drive an M3 so I guess Im expecting more from it, but even so, they are very loose and not very driver oriented, its definitely more on the luxury side just with a manual transmission.

Basic_man · 10-19-2005, 01:19 PM

I suggest you the 525xi sedan

webair · 10-19-2005, 01:32 PM

Depends on what you want out of the car.... Luxury... or sport.

If your a luxury guy that wants speed as well... you might as well get the M5 with the DYNAN package - it's a BMW authorized upgrade that is FUCKING KICK ASS... and dosn't mess up the Dealer Warranty.

But, if you like a fast more manuverable vehicle you may want to look into something that is 4-wheel drive.. like an AUDI. Audi's do not have the reputation as BMW of couse...

But!!!!...Nothing 2 wheel drive can out handle a 4 wheel drive vehicle such as an Audi S4 or VW R32. The cornering and handeling is IMMENSLY SUPERIOR.

The lates advances in traction control do help out on the 2 weel drive vehicles... but it still doesnt' step up to 4 weel drive. I DEFINTIELY think you will think twice after driving say... and Audi S4 or S8 or A8. 80K is a nice ride... I would definitely test drive some other vehicles before being set on the 5 series.

1 thing I found very annoying about the BMWs (and rear wheel drive vehicles in general) is a slight delay in sterring response. Really tear it up on the test drive and you'll see what I mean. The steering delay response on the M-Coupe was so bad... I cut the test drive short.

Don't get me wrong... The M5 is a NASTY FUCKING BITCH!!!! (great car)

M5 quarter mile time is 13.4 seconds... only 1 10th slower then the smaller and more manuverable M3 at 13.3 seconds. So not a big performance difference on strait runs. The M5 also has the quickest stopping distance of any stock vehicle at 60-0 in 2.0 seconds (that beats the M3).

The Mercedes AMG series is also to be taken seriously... but its a completly different ride as well as looks. However, some AMG's are totally over-rated so like the other guy said "Do your research... and

test drive everything a while". The dealer in my town will let me take vehicles for a day or 2 on a purchase this size so you might try that.

Get a MB CLS. The 5 series is no longer the king of that class. Active steering bullshit.
