So I've always wanted a 5-series but just cant afford one. Today I decide to take a look at what the current model has, thinking hey...that 550i is really nice and powerful. Then I see it - the v10 powered M5! 500hp baby and 4 doors. Now where am I gonna get $90k so I can buy one?

I've already been looking at that motor. :) Was thinking about building a Chevelle. But I still want an M5 even if I did build one.

bah

that iDrive is so incomphensible! you buy a car worth $200k+ (AU$) and you have to spent a month mucking about with it. for that price id expect a car thats ready to drive how i want it do haha

if youve got that much money, just buy a HSV GTS and $100k on a boat:anihappy:
