Looks like he chilled out. M5 sounds like an awesome machine. However, for my needs, the E55 will top it thanks to the plushness. When my spot comes up for the M5, I will probably just let my brother buy it.

Freakin Lobbyist...WOW incredible case put together and makes you wonder if there is a "cultural" gap or some language barrier that made your post's seem offensive to a "EURO". Funny YOU LOVE the M5 and you are gonna get booted, makes zero sense and diminishes the believability of anything posted by the Gustapo, oops Gutavo(sp) . Will the new M5 have the IDRIVE? If it does its gonna cause alot of accidents, that is the worst thing BMW ever did. IMHO

Well, Gustav banned me. Some guys were trashing mbworld:
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/sho...&postcount=149
So I responded.
He then deleted every post I tried and BANNED me. We are by no means perfect over here, but THANK GOD we don't censor everyone who disagrees with us. Heck, I'm not really sure where I REALLY disagreed with him.

The Gestapo has spoken! If you disagree with someone in person, the delete key doesn't work as well. If it's easier for you to win arguments via your magic wand, so be it. I just think it's pretty pathetic.

Frankly,
Who's faster? Professional driver is needed for a fair comparison? I or you are in the car in the real world. So THE REAL WORLD COMPARO would be you and someone else running cars on the same road. REMEBER THAT. And if you drive a high performance car but aren't able to use the full potential of the car(even though you are not a professional) when it is necessary, You are not the right driver for the car(as a driver's point of view).
I believe you will always be welcomed in this community and still be able to express what you think about MBs ro BMW comparos. I wish M5 board to have more tolerance in different opinions. Debates are better than shoving unconfirmed facts into other faces.

I can tell you that if our moderators used Gustav's moderating style, we would have 1/2 the number of forum members and a little less laughter. There are times to ban people, this wasn't one of them.
Banning someone who is perceived to "be threatening to insult someone" (not actually doing it yet) is more in keeping to a world of hate than allowing a free flow of opinion. Nuff said on this topic.

"Threatening to insult someone" When did the BMW board get precogs? Sounds like a Tom Cruise movie somewhat. I dont think it was fair to ban Derek, I read just about everything there was yesterday from him and nowhere was he offensive, anywho, glad to be in my E, and on this board.

It's widely used to compare car's acceleration all over the world. M5 is a very good car and everyone knows that, so as E55. I just think that you over reacted on this one, and you seem to not have the ideas about how a moderator should think/behave. Be more open-minded, man..

Frankly, I'm actually gonna get the 1st or 2nd M5 at one of my local dealers. I can't say which yet since I'm being given HUGE favor by the owner...
I drove the 545i last week, the handling was pretty precise but power was weak since I'm so used to the 55K with ECU and pulley. But again, the interior was something else for me. I assume the M5 will handle as good if not better than the 545 which is a huge plus for me. The power I assume will be the same if not stronger than a stock 55K car.
To make a long story short, it's a never ending cycle. The E39 toppled the W210, the W211 toppled the E39, the E60 will probably topple the W211, then E63 or whatever they will make ( I'm praying for Twin Turbo V8) ...so it goes on and on. Quite frankly, I don't really care what Gustav has to say since he is IMO, **Disclaimer** In My Opinion is a BMW "biggot" per say. I personally love cars in general...went from BMW to Audi to MB...not a "loyalist" in any regards, I buy what I like period.

As a number of people have pointed out, this kind of competition only benefits us, the car enthusiasts. More specifically, expensive German sedan enthusiasts. I've driven VW/Audi's for 25 years, and just switched to BMW last year. I'm first on my dealer's list for the new M5, and I can't wait.
Could the car be better? Sure, the interior, and the trim choices are kind of weird. The styling is uhhhh... interesting. But so help me, one thing is for sure, this is a driver's car like no other before it. That is why I'm buying the car, and I suspect that is why most people are buying it. Is it as luxurious or attractive as a Mercedes? Probably not. Is the interior as well done? No. Does it have the kind of 'effortless power' that the E55 and CLS55 have? Probably not. Is it the most technically advanced motor vehicle on the planet? Probably yes.
The fact that the E55 has been overtaken by another German sedan should be good news for everybody here. It virtually guarantees that Mercedes will develop a much better, faster car in the near future.

We all love ours cars, sometimes a bit too much. Both sides are probably a bit overexcited. I don't mind the names that M5 folks called us, that just the way things go. What is surprising is the reaction of your moderator and the lack of one from your members. "I may disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death to protect your right to say it."
That may be a bit dramatic for an internet car forum, but this board would never allow a mod to do the things that you allow of Gustav.
Irregardless, I anxiously await the delivery of my M5.
