i LOVE it! Its the freshest new car design i've seen in awhile. I love how they keep the side gills. Those tires are massive.

your right, but i think the m5 is gonna have a 7 speed manual, trq shouldnt be a problem coming from a v-10
sure its proly 10x easier to launch the benz so if some one w/ a e55 runs a m5 with a so -so driver his advantage will be to get em off the line...

1SICKLEX.......not sure what the future will bring. Only if I narrowed it down to one car could I consider the M5 or some other perf. sedan (if I were smart that's what I would do). Like many automotive enthusiasts though, my wants change on a frequent basis.

I think the E55 is a better looking car than the M5 is, but without a doubt (unless BMW completely fucks up)....it will be a much better driving car in all departments.

BTW, if I had a choice I'd go with either E55 (brand loyalty, love their cars) or the RS6, or an E39 M5

Because N/A engines that make that much power are just about unusable for daily driving. Ever driven a 500HP N/A car before?
You can get better gas mileage and better daily drive-ability /w boost.

Either one is for a select few people. BMWs stranglehold on sports sedans/cars has loosened recently. The competitors have caught up after many years of half-assing it or playing left field.
Will this new M5 be so dominant as the last one?

I have much respect for the M5, but I liked the previous one better. Although I do like the rear shot of the new style.
E55 wins in terms of looks. Still an awesome car though
