All,

I had an E39 M5 and that was informally known as "the Beast" by all the E39 M5 folks and magazine editors alike. This car is much more of a beast by all accounts so is using the "Beast" moniker "cool" here?

Our term the beast came from the MB commercial featuring the 2003 E55. There is video on YouTube. Search E55 commercial

Cool...seems I went from the old "beast" and will be getting the new one. Much more fitting for the E55 I think!
