1. kain's a loser who doesnt have a car... but he will get a 325CI
2. you drove a M5 for 30 minutes a E55 around the block or something, and now you think you have had enough experience to contrast the two...your getting a 325CI
3. why are you taking trash bout amg's? your gonna get a 325CI
4. you have almost no driving experience....your getting a 325CI
5. your drove your dad's E-class, probably 320 or lower (otherwise he would have bragged about it im thinking, could be wrong) ....your getting a 325CI
6. your posts are NEVER based on facts... just propaganda... your getting a 325CI
7. your signiture says M Power, but your not getting a M... your getting a 325CI
8. your 325CI is gonna be a slow Piece of SH*T
9. it would seem that neither you nor your dad has the means to purchase the cars your bashing or the cars you praise... so why dont you just get back in your 325CI and shut up

Kain. i dont know why you keep bragging that the E55 maybe faster
in all honestly, even if the E60 M5 is faster, its not really anything worth bragging about... it's supposed to be. its going to compete with a car that came out 3 YEARS before it!!!
only Audi comes out with cars 3 years later and still slower than the rest
BMW has had a chance to see what the W211 E55 and RS6 can do. They have those impressions to use as their benchmarks... if the E60 M5 cant beat the E55/RS6 in one aspect or another, then BMW will not release it
im sure by the time the E60 M5 comes out, mb and audi will have something on the way also that will be comparable or faster (mb atleast)
big deal 325CI-man... bmw comes out with a faster car 3 years after mb
am I supposed to be impressed?
is this supposed to be a magnificent feat?
notice how nobody in this forum doesnt really compare the W211 E55 with the E39 M5 anymore?

'Our new design was wrong'
BMW Boss's Shock Admission
You knew it, we knew it, anyone with any taste new it - BMW's 7-series is horrible. Now it seems BMW knows it too.
BMW has finally admitted what everyone in the car world has long known: the current 7-series is a disaster. In an interview with American business magazine Fortune, Helmut Panke, BMW's chairman, said: "I admit the intensity of the public debate over our new design (which began with the 7-series) did suprise me. There are still too many articles focusing on 'I wish this car looked different blah, blah, blah.' The 7-series was a combination of completely new technology with new design direction. The key point is that we should never make big steps in strategic directions without preparing our customers."
Panke is the first BMW executive to publicly acknowlege what many Munich insiders have privately been saying about the 7-series - that BMW made a big mistake in launching Chris Bangle's new design direction and the complex i-Drive system at the same time in the most conservative sector of the market with no explanation.
Panke's comments have been greeted with relief in Munich. "It's a weight off everyone's shoulders," one insider said. "Panke has finally said what we all knew but could not say - that we tried to do too much, too soon with the 7-series and we did it in the wrong market. We were too far ahead of the audience and lost a lot of goodwill. It was a real own goal that has overshadowed the launch of the very good cars that have followed the 7-Series."
Panke's admission is part of a new PR approach by BMW. As sales of the Z4, the new 5-series and the 6-series rise, BMW execs are admitting past failings. At a recent private dinner in Spain, one senionr BMW board member told jounalists that BMW had done "an absolutely lousy job" of explaining the firm's new design and its minimalist cabin controls.
Even Chris Bangle himself has admitted making mistakes - although not when it comes to design. At a recent lecture at the Design Museum in London, he said: "Did we move in the right direction with design? Yes. Could we have done more to explain what we were doing and why? Yes."
Privately, Bangle believes that the BMW board were too slow to wake up to the scale of his design changes. They failed to explain his new modernist style and when it became clear that customers loved the 7-Series' performance but hated the looks and i-Drive, they acted too slowly to address the concerns.
The top-of-the-range 7-Series was launched two years ago. In spite of the chorus of criticism it attracted and sluggish sales - in particular in BMW's core German market - BMW insisted customers would learn to love it. However, last year executives rushed through a facelift designed to smooth the car's sharp edges, reduce its bulky profile and soften the clunky bootlid.
The new 7-Series will be unveiled later this year. BMW hopes its launch will mark the end of one of the most awkward chapters in the company's history."

damn dude... you got me...
is that all you can say?
you're, not your?
why dont you make a comment on everything else i said?
and your bimmerfoums posts indicate that YOU'RE getting a new 325CI or a used M3 if you can find 1 with enough miles... so until then, the chances of you getting a 325CI is equally as likely as you getting the used M3
but the facts still remain...
you dont drive...
your dads car is hardly worth talking bout...
it would seem neither you nor your dad has the means to purchase any of the cars you are talking about...
you never base anything on facts, just BMW forum propaganda...
you will probably STILL get a 325CI
and even if you get your performance package 330CI, which is *******g retarded, a C32 would still smoke your a$$
