Who likes the M5?

11Hungrybb · 03-17-2008, 12:36 PM

IMO, one of the best sedans in the world!

hey, this thread isn't about Maroon 5.

I love the M5's... just bought a new beemer, and wish I made more cash so I could have gotten one of those. I got a 335i though, and I'm damn happy with it

Ulter · 03-17-2008, 12:40 PM

If it came in a convertible I'd have one. I'm sticking with the new M3. Been waiting 2 years for it.

Biter · 03-17-2008, 12:41 PM

Ulter I test drove one of the M3s... day after it came out. They are amazing

Aww, sorry...

The 335I is a great car. The new M3 isn't here yet? I saw it in 2dr and 4dr at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It is simply magnificient!

Ulter · 03-17-2008, 12:52 PM

I drive an M3 now. But they haven't changed the car since I bought mine 5 years ago. They keep promising a new version every year and never producing it. My salesguy says it's for sure this time.

Biter · 03-17-2008, 12:59 PM

Hehe, it's here now, at least it was at the dealer in Los Angeles I went to. I got a chance to drive it as I'm friends with a salesperson there. It doesn't disappoint. While my 335 is fast, this thing is in another league altogether.

It's out now. My buddy went and drove one last week and ordered it. 75k.

I like the M6 over the M5, personally. But of course they're both amazing

Ulter · 03-17-2008, 01:45 PM

I just went to my dealer's website and all they have are hardtops. I'll leave a message for my salesguy. He's a body builder from Turkey. Always brings back goodies.

my SUV was buildt in America, by Americans, with mostly american parts, every aftermarket part was designed and installed by Americans. Why is it Americans do not buy American "then bitch about the American economy"

Because American cars are very different to German cars.

TrenAman · 03-17-2008, 02:22 PM

I like the car, but would never buy for the simple fact it is not made by Americans, if they moved the Assembly plant over to the US, then I would reconsider. Until then, my wife will be driving a cadillac cts-v

BIGBUCK$ · 03-17-2008, 02:27 PM

that car is a monster!

Lumberjack5.0 · 03-17-2008, 02:51 PM

Just an FYI for TranAman -- many BMWs are built in the US. South Carolina is the location for the X-series SUVs and the roadster. There may be other plants as well (can't remember off the top of my head).

Check the VIN on your truck -- if it doesn't start witha 1 then it's made somewhere else. You'd be amazed at how many GM vehicles are made in Canda or Mexico

Another example -- most Toyotas sold in the US are built in the US, too. Same with Honda.

Every car company is a multi-national conglomerate that builds cars all over the world. The "American" companies love that you buy into there "we are American, for America" sales pitch. They know they are lying, you should know too.
