New M5 Photos

Pros: Wheels, engine.

Cons, everything else...that dash looks bare bones! For over $100,000 I want more buttons!


I guess the Acura outshine everybody in terms of style and interior.

That car is definitely hot, but do not short out your keyboard.

I am not feeling the new Beamers... the rear of those cars ain't got it... and why would you ever get a M% in a wagon, or better yet, why the fuck would you offer one in a wagon???

That interior is very bland, nothing to it at all. Although, the performance will make me

The interior in those pics looks cheap and unimpressive compared to the E39 BMW M5. The only things that I like about the new M5 is the V10 engine, SMG, and technology that went into it the exterior and interior doesn't appeal to me at all.

The E39 M5's interior looks much nicer.

The probable performance of the M5 transcends the E60's conterversial styling, IMO.

Agreed, I am really concerned about how these Germen cars are de-contenting their cars as the Japanese did during the late 90’s. And the weak USD dollar isn’t going t help sales since BMW makes most of their money from the US.

Where can you use all the 500 HP other than a race track. Waste of money, I'd stick with the V8 version and re-badge it with a MUGEN stickers!!!!

they really messed with a good thing IMO the last generation M5 was much sexier, although this one is going to be much meaner on the road i suppose.

However when your spending that much money i think the car should have at least some sex appeal.

....uh...the same place I use the 255hp of my Maxima. With the new M5, it'll just cover a shorter distance.

Everytime I see a new Maxima, I look at the owner and they look away, as if they were a ugly duckling.
