Now, I have seen a total of four M5's on the road since I became educated in the ways of fine automobiles. Recognizing this rare machine for what it is, I am naturally drawn to observe it a little closer than most traffic. Last night, I saw the fifth M5, and when I got close enough to look inside, my eyes revealed something I will never, ever see again as long as I will live:

There was a very cute, young woman with a pony tail driving this awesome car. And since the M5 only comes with a manual shifter, chances are pretty good she knew all about what she was driving.

Unfortunately, as much as I flirted and tried to get noticed, she would not do anything more than hold the cruise control. How upsetting--except that just before I exited, she did look over at me and smile.

Oh well, I guess it's a good thing she did not try to show off, because I would have ruined my pants.

 

M5's arent that rare around here, but i dont think i've ever seen anyone really pushing the car

 

As soon as my max is paid off, just 48 more payments!! I am going to purchase a used M5. I think that car is just amazing. What I wouldnt give for a 2003 in that LeMans Blue ugh.

 

Come to beautiful Coral Gables, FL. M5's are like freakin civics here.

 

yeah here in ATL ga M5s are very common... my uncle has a 2001 M5 w/ dinan chip exhaust and throttle body.... needless to say its bad and he deffinately pushes it. he let me drive it and it is amazing!! shifting gears in that beast is a dream! i pushed it very hard and it was just simply amazing.

M5 is a beautiful car. It's a dream. I also like the 2000 750iL. Loved driving the 750.

 

I live in St. Pete, FL. One of the M5's I have seen was in Daytona (at bike week). Last week, I had to take a business trip to Miami Beach, and Will Smith was right--everybody has $100K cars. I saw a lot of S600's, C55AMG, and even a couple of Bentleys. It wouldn't surprise me at all if M5's a pretty common in south Florida.

 

M5 and previous gen 740il....two AMAZING BMW's, PERIOD!

 

Mmmm, nothing like seeing a girl drive a sports car.

 

Make sure you get a warranty when you do.

If you think the car is amazing, you should see what repair bills are!!!

 

My Mother-In-Law had a 1998 740i. That car was amazing. Very fast and smooth. I drove it a few times and it always made me smile. She got rid of it though. Too many problems/no warranty (she bought it used-private party).

EXPENSIVE to repair!!! Power steering pump alone was around $2500.

She has a 2001 MB E320 now. Nice car but a bit underpowered-especially considering the price.

 

haha good point about the repair bill!!! my uncles M5 is in the shop right now for a new clutch and flywheel........$3500 bill. performance isnt cheap!!!

will

 

my .com friend replaced the clutch in his M5 twice before 20k miles... BMW only covered the first. All he would say was the bill was over $3,000 but we all think it was closer to $4,000.... for ONE clutch job.

 

Imagine!!

3 more clutches and he could have bought a whole Max!

 

M5s are truly nice, nice performance numbers, nice pricetage, nice repair bills and of course, usually a nice chick working the stick......you know, the manual trannny

 

she was probably thinking... wow look at this stupid kid, he actually thinks I like him.

You probably would've gotten a look back from her if you were driving like a ferrari, or something that would've impressed her. She probably gets that crap all day.

 

750il is way better then the 740il. 750 is V12 and 740 is only V8.

 

yeah, "only" a v8 like Shania Twain is "only" a female
