I apologize if this is a repost...

"For a speed racer looking to fly beneath the radar, it was the perfect car. Which, of course, is why BMW decided to change it, most notably by adding a magical button that, when pushed, adds yet another 100 horses to the engine. Simply depress and, voila, you've hit the 500-horsepower threshold, and can now smoke a Ferrari Scaglietti."

I saw a black one on 5th Ave. the other day... Looked unique. Anytime you want to see a new M5 take a drive through Mission/4th St. SW and there will most likely be one parked. I've seen 3 different M5's there during the afternoon's.
