Guys guys guys....come on now. The M5 has always been marketed as the pinnicle of a German luxury sports sedan. It's designed to chew up the highway at Autobahn speeds.

It has not and never will be a vehicle meant for the track. Sure it will perform flawlessly through mtn passes and on B-roads but not the track.

Yes, BMW has added more M-bits like the CS for buyers but that's just them trying to satisfy the other 1 percent who want bragging rights.

The problem for M5 owners is finding the circumstances to actually take advantage of what the car can do. Racing from stop light to stop light on the way to the grocery store gets boring after awhile. Accelerating down highway on ramps is fun but short lived due to lack of room. The vast majority of owners don't actually want to own an M5 but want to lease it. Consequently they also won't want to road trip in the car either. It's a shame really because wide open highways with no LEO's to be seen is the natural habitat for this car.

Basically people want a slow car that they can drive fast The M5 isn't it and neither is the M3.

Buy and restore an E39 M5 with a 6 speed.. It'll be more fun to drive.
