Re: E60 M5 SOUNDS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE CGT!!!!...
I agree Bilal,
Everytime I hear about the M5 I think of how good that car would be if it had a desent design that we "didn't have to get used to". Incredible enigne perfromance and sound, incredible tranny, incredible chaisis for its class, but...
BTW thanks M5er for the video clip I had not heard the M5 yet and I'm impressed.

Agreed completely.
I thought I would change my mind when I see it on the streets but NO. I have seen this car in silver, blue, and even black on the streets, but i can never get accustomed to that rear end. Same with the 7 series, even 2-3 years after its launch I still feel its butt ugly.
We all know its a foregone conclusions that it will handle like a Challene stradale, even sounds like it! And will give top class comfort. I don't care, its still doesn't cut the mustard.
FWIW, I have seen so many new E-classes compared to about 3-4 five series since last year. At least the public is not "dazzled by that Bavarian propeller"

Re: E60 M5 SOUNDS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE CGT!!!!...
WHAT?
That sound is annoying, and so "fake plastic trees sounding".
It sounds like BMW is using that "sound box" that they used on the Z3.
The sound sounds great the first time around, but the second time, it got on my nerves.
NO THANKS.
Doesnt even come close to a GT.
M5r, Is someone making sure that you are taking your medication?

FYI, the Z3 had no sound box, the Z4 does however.
I am also not sure what a fake plastic tree sounds like.
