I would go for the M6 as well. But I just loved the Top Gear review of the M5. It was just fucking funny.

I saw one a couple weeks ago and wanted to drive my 3 off a cliff, I have no love for any new bmw, I think they look pretty ugly.

I've seen about 4 or 5 mew M5's....but I saw a white one last week that stole my heart. Now I wanna sell my house, and move into an apartment so I can buy one (but the wife said that if I did that, I'd be living 'in it'). Oh well....

No M6s yet, else we'd have some. We have like 15 in Sarasota already...I see 2-3 at least a day. "Hot garbage" really is a great way to describe it, because there are some sexy lines on the car, but overall its just soooo ugly! All the M5s have come in with oil problems too...no dipstick = fun on an engine with oil problems! Do sound quite nice though

The M3 will be coming out soon with a 4.0 V8 that is just the 5.0 V10 with 2 less cyls.

Tranny is a Getrag too. Real nice!
