Isnt it funny?

While we are enjoying our rides, M5 fans still waiting for theirs and they make this predictions and discussing who likes it and who doesnt like it and all that kind of stuff, I just drop there time to time and see all that action makes me laugh!

Still i would never trade my E55 for m5, Maybe to 997s tho... But not in another 3-4 years

no questioning how good of a vehicle the m5 is gonna be but enough is enough. At this rate the m5 is gonna have to contend with the next generation E55. They keep on pushing this m5 back because of new problems. I believe it has so many electronic gizmo's its gonna be a lemon the first year. I mean a button that adds an extra 100hp???

I also find it funny how the CLS55 is probably going to come out sooner then the m5 yet the m5 has been talked about for the past year or two.

To tell you the truth I Loved my 745i it was a beautifull car! Loved pretty much everything about it, handling,interrior, exterrior, BUT DAMN IT it had so much problems, They've done 3-4 software updates, Changed my transimition, My Idrive froze like 5 times they couldn't fix that, i had to restart the car to fix it, they've changed plugs and somthing else because my 2 cylinders shut off one time. Umm what else... Had Audio problem, It showed me that my tyres are flat like a zillion times, Few times it said i had suspension problems, I could go on forever and still they didnt want to take it back, they only send me mont blanc pen as a present, and i didnt want to spent money and time on lawyers!

Anyway To tell you the truth i'm against all that electronics in cars! Maybe just a little! Like ESP or somthing like that, but not IDRIVE! Where almost everything depends on that damn thing!

Agreed. Love my outgoing '05 E55, looking forward to delivery on my incoming '05 E55 replacement. While I'm happy now, I might be open at some time to 4-door alternatives that are at least as quick.

Chris Bangle designs that I've seen so far need not apply.

http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=49144

To tell you the truth, I kinda like the exterior but what happened to interior? It's just so plain ugly... I hate the dash the most, it's just so freaking ugly!

In addition, they're also having serious problems with the new 5-series in the European NCAP crash tests. The first time the new 5 only got 3/5 stars, of course BMW wanted retest and months and many changes later, they still only got 4/5.

The new E-class, and most other new cars got 5/5.
