When was the last time you drove an M5?

These cars are lame. Unless you never drove a Turbo, then I can see how an old lady who ownes a Jag might think an M5 is a performance car.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I own a 545. It is PITA to drive that car with this ^%$#*& iDrive system. The car has acceptable performance and handling for a sedan. But any real performance car based on this weight class will have a hard time competing for the prize money.

renntech36 is infamous around these parts

the new M5, after some review, I think will be an OK car. Can Porsche "touch the new M5"? No, they basically chew it up like it wasnt even there, then **** on the remains.

I don't think the 911 look is right for a boxy sedan. It's more fitting if they lower and shrink the cayenne to become a sedan. It'll probably have that big mouth upfront. Big mouths are in these days.
