Oh, no doubt she looks great.

How's the ride on the M5 around the city? Is it firm?

On soft and aftermarket springs, its not too bad. On hard its pretty brutal. Only really works on a smooth as fuck track. Racecity was too bumpy for its hardest setting imo, at Oregon Raceway it was great.

I would like one for the exhaust note alone.

This.
E60 M5 + Meisterschaft exhaust

I've given one before and I thought it was fun to drive hard but not a great car when you drive it normally. The transmission is annoying and there's not much torque. I prefer my for CTSV for daily driving but would prefer the M5 on a track.

Heres a great video :-

wow a 2010, those are super rare. What colour?

For what the car is it's reliable. Think about a high compression v10 with an SMG transmission in a Ferrari, think about how that would compare to the maintenance of an m5. The M5 is a bargain and probably the best bang for buck sports sedan on the market right now. Just go in expecting it to need repairs like any other V10 sports car.

I'd probably go for (at least) an 07 so you can get a 6MT. But then again, if it were my money, I'd track down an E39, which is, IMO, the best looking M5 ever.

Hugely more reliable as well.

Totally agree with you on that. Sub 5 second 0-60 is impressive now never mind almost 14 years ago. I didn't know that you could get it with a stick shift..bonus.

E39 M5s ONLY came with 6MT and nothing else. You know, back in day, when BMWs were actually enjoyable and owned the sports sedan market.

Now that I approve of..6 MT or nothing. Keeps the soccer moms away from them
