Hi I want to know from the m5 owners personally what are the pros and cons of the car? Thanks

 

hey, might i suggest that you spend some time on m5board (not to discourage you from spending time here). there are a lot of good guys over there and all they talk about is m5's. i think you will also get more responses there. good luck with your search.

 

Pros: Powerful and fast with comfortable seats for five. It definitely felt bigger and heavier than my 997 but, for its size, it handles remarkably well.

Cons: Horrible fuel economy (I average about 11 mpg).

Up for debate: SMG. I love it except in traffic, when it lunges. I do miss driving manual too. iDrive. Complicated at first, but intuitive enough to get used to it quickly.

Overall, there are times when I regret selling the 911, but when I drive the M5 hard, it is an absolute thrill in itself. There is nothing like tire chirps between shifts.

 

agreed. the m6 is very jumpy in traffic and it is the most fuely unefficient car ever

 

The M5 is a sick car. Nothing beats pulling up to a ferrari or a porchse and smokin it in a four door. Who cares about gas, I wish I got 11mpg (I get 6.8) I never out of 2nd gear. Its a great car

 

Haha, nice. You must use a lot of oil too.
