That's sooooooo freaking sweet, I'd LOVE to have n M5. I love the 5 series design too. I drove an 04 545 a while back, that's one sweet ass car

I'm sure it's a great car and an M5 is one of my dream cars, but I think I would prefer one of the ones that are a few years old. I haven't heard very good reviews of the confusing "I-Drive" system, and I think the new M5's have a version similar to the ones in the new 7 series. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

M5's are badazz!

I just saw a CTSv the other day. Looks interesting!

actually, the word is that the New 5's version is only HALF as messed up as the 7 series version.

LOL, still sounds sad

You would almost certainly need to take European Delivery on this one. I would want to drive it on the roads it was designed to drive on before bringing it back to the US where it will be crippled. You can even sell it to the wife as a "family sedan" Hey Honey.....it has 4 doors. It looks nice. I loved my 1999 M3, but it was just a little bit too small. This would be perfect. Thanks for the news.
