Every time I see a new 5 series, I like them more and more. The M styling pack is a must imo. The M5 just looks awesome in the flesh, I just wish there was some way of me owning one.

The only thing I don't like about beamers is the interior. The HUD looks flashy, but for such a nice looking car on the outside, the interior is really bland.

A fine purchase indeed! You'll need to post again when you stop smiling.

Unfortunately the M styling pack for the regular models doesn't look a thing like the body kit on the M5.

Also, if you have a look at the BMW Individual options, you can make the interior look extremely classy, just at a highly inflated cost.

Seriously nice car. How does the gearbox work? I can't see a clutch but it has a normal manual stick as far as i can tell. Is it just a case of changing gear like normal but with an automatic clutch?

Preferred the older shape models, look far more aggressive and purposeful.

Congrats on the M5, Spie

Saw one in the flesh (dark blue colour) on the M40 last week, looks and sounds gorgeous

I'd have a 535D and the change for something else, anyday!

Nice car though boss.

It's an automatic but it also has paddle shift on the steering column.

I think that this picture sums up the car perfectly. No matter where you look you can't help but be draw to the twin set, much like other pictures that will remain nameless.

Lovely car as I have said a million times before

The styling is so very wrong but it doesn't make the car any less.

The MPG?

paul@ · 16 Jul 2005 at 01:03

How much did that cost you to buy spie if you don't mind telling?

What kind of MPG do you get?

Che · 16 Jul 2005 at 01:05

I really like it but I don't like the interior at all - it looks too fiddly. I would have preferred a blander interior than that but it's still nice. Does anyone else think that the M5 badge looks horrible? I much prefer the RS4 etc badges on Audis.

love it all

Awesome machine, massive respect for how it performs and drives, but the styling inside and out still do nothing for me.
