An almost 5yr old car for $45,000, rather take a brand new 335i for about the same or less money. The performance of the twin turbo BMW is awesome with 300/300 hp and torque and a sweet inline 6 engine. Even that car is a bit of an overkill given our highway system and laws let alone an M5 which unless you are going to track it will never get the full worth of the vehicle other than bragging rights.

You can get a new C300 with the sport package for about $14000 less and that car will have a lot more hp than your C240

PS if you you think that MB parts are expensive, wait till you find out the cost of parts for BMW's, further more for a low production car like the M5

I am going to talk to the body shop tomorrow and see if they had a chance to look at it. And also test drive a few cars.
it sucks to see ur car like this, u just finished all ur mods.
but u should part out pars of ur car to get some value out of it. if by all means is totaled. hope its not and u get it back all in good condition?
what are u hoping for, a new car or ur car fixed?
aww isee, what kind of cars are u considering???

i'd go with an M5 in the list of cars you have... i'm really thinking bout gettin a E46 M3 once the E92 hits the street. The prices of the E46 M's have dropped so much lately and with the new E92 out prices will drop more. I was just readin up on a turbo charge kit for the E46 it'll make the car dumb fast, but ya the M5 is still phaaaat just too much maintence cost for me for now. Everytime i get into my boys E46 M3 i am sold

Best two choices on the list...there is nothing like the feeling of traveling in the Range Rover....and the CLS...that is sex on wheels..no doubt....both are major chick magnets on a higher level.....its like the difference between a woman who notices your Rolex...and the woman who notices your Panerai!

So you suggest he make his decision based on what gold diggers will like most? I disagree completely.

Dandy. Kills the competition IMHO. As much as I love Benz, I think Audi out did BMW and Benz in the styling.

I think that the Accord has elements of BMW (C-pillar) Saturn Aura rear end, Camry taillights, Altima front headlights.


One thing though it will certainly be more reliable than anything out of the Fatherland! (I speak as a former Acura and Accord owner)

I like the RR but wont get to drive it since it will be in the shop 90% of the time.

I am probably going to buy a POS car for the winter and save every penny and get a new CLS in the spring.

The thought had crossed my mind, but I cant stand the rear end of that car and those HUGE mirrors. Even after some heavy drinking, I cant get used to em.
