Gratz!

But you are going to see it your way, regardless.

12.3@115 out of a stock M5 , a stock ws6 isnt staying with a stock m5 , a retard in a manual maybe but thats it...

import you hate on every car but seem to love your ws6 and your g20 , why did you ever get rid of it ? And is there not a forum for pontiacs you could be on ?

chuckd05 · 12-31-2010, 01:22 AM

and great pickup on the M5 bro... My friend has a 550i and I have had that car for several days at a time on a few occasions and I loved it... even the motor in the 550i has effortless acceleration over 70mph... very impressive car and that was only the 2009 550i. I love the 550i's wheels he has, almost more than the stock M5 wheels... I feel like beemer got that wrong.. the m5 wheels are nice but his 2009 550i wheels are more aggressive to me..

regardless that car is one fine machine even if it rode on steelies

When did I hate on the M5? I related an experience, agreed with OP, and congratulated them. M5 is an awesome car.

I think you are seeing what you want to see. I have said PLENTY of negative things about my WS6 and G20. I mean, this is almost as bad if I were to do this...^^

Yeah I've been looking at the 06-07 M5. It all depends on what the next duty station is. Being divorced is awesome more **** for me after child support!

Those BMW's, especially the ///M cars can be very expensive to maintain compared to a Nissan, though. If you can, either set aside $$, make a friend at the dealership/ a BMW shop, or get a warranty of some sort. Roommate took his 5-series in for a new coil-pack and it was $200. $120 of it was labor...on a coil-pack (He did not know it would be like that or he would have done it).

Sick car, but warranty is key on a BMW!

He is. Wait 6 months or until his 1st BMW service, and he will be back here again.

BMW service treats you like a king, but it is very expensive for them to touch the car. The parts don't cost a whole ton (well, some of them don't, and some do...), but the labor is killer.
