Since you insist on continuing to talk about these cars. Care to tell us what the hell they have to do with an M5?

I wasn't aware that C&D had access to the Clubsport already.
I just disagree with the entire concept of the M5. Doesn't seem to make sense to me. I either want over the top luxury or I want a sports car. I never want both in one car because one always takes away from enjoying the other.

This thread would be about a luxury sedan that has amazing performance, stop bringing up cars in a totally different class. What is so hard yo grasp about that?

......and seats 4
Everyone already knows that the m5 is the fastest sedan. But why do we "need" a 500hp sedan. I guess the only other competitor would be the Cadillac cts-v. For half the price I would take the caddy.

I suppose it might be a little faster in a straight line, but that's about it. We'll have to see about the weight, probably pushing 5000 lbs in that beast. And it's won't have near the shift speed on the M5. It'll be close for sure.
M5 Rocks

anyone remember the E39 M5 ad. The one with the Jet car in the desert, then the dude gets out and checks the camera on the M5 which was filming the jet cars run from right beside it.
Yeah, that was a good ad.
That is all
EDIT:
Found it.

irregardless
adv : regardless; a combination of irrespective and regardless sometimes used humorously
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

Not that my opinion is worth much to BMW, but I actually think they ruined the looks of the new 5 series, and then made things worse by adding the annoying iDrive system to it.
The last gen 5 series was my favorite true sports sedan.
Don't even get me started on the 7 series (with it's truly fugly trunk decklid).

iDrive is so bad, bot MB and AUDI are copying it. The only people that complain are technoligically incompetent, and or inexperienced with the system. I have talked to a couple people with iDrive and they both say after a while it becomes second nature. Of course, they're both fairly young, young enough to have grown up in the digital age anyhow.

I actually like the '06 face lifted 7 series quite a bit.
