Do the test!

Line 5 BMW 5-series up one next to the other and let a non-car-interested
person pick out the M5.

They can't: all 5-series look the same.

As to the regular "car-nut": you have to have a keen eye to spot the
differences between an M5 and a factory kitted 535D.

Put a Sapphire Cosworth into a bunch of Sapphires. It won't stand out but the
enthousiast will indentify the real McCoy immediately. Of course when the light
goes green, the identification proces becomes far more easier.

Idem to the M5.

Given the option of a fully loaded brand spanking new M3 or a fully
loaded brand spanking new RS4 which would you pick and why?



The one that is worth more.

Thus, would be sold and the capital put to better use.


I think a more interesting comparison would be the unreleased S6 and
the M5


Purely academic as I'd sell them all!


Imagine that the new M5 and S6 have exactly the same resale value, which
one would you choose dervy?

M5 5.0 V10
S6 5.5 V10 from the lambo Gallardo

google ur own specs i cba


Heh.

I would need to try both for at least a fortnight each before decided
what I would prefer. Oh and I'd have to have some track time too.

Isn't the current M5 more than 5.0 litres?


erm no? old m5 was a five litre V8 iirc, and the new is a five litre V10,
with the trick vanos system.
I dunno, I'll find out when I get to have a play with the old bosses' M5.

Nope. Thats why it's a bargain. Who cares how it looks when most people
only get to see the back anyway.

Most cars look great in dark metallic blues as the light accentuates the
shapes - my 75 was a similar colour. However the darker the colour the more
it shows chips and scratches - Rosso Corsa is a great colour as the modern
paints don't fade like old reds did (the laquer helps a lot here) and it
doesn't show the scratches as much.

Yellow just screams look at me and should never be put on anything that's
not french.

Hmm. The Cinquecento Sportings' yellow suited it. As does the Ibiza Cupra
Too Fast Turbo Nutty thing.
