I can provide 10 seconds of pure ecstasy but beyond that it is sheer disappointment and self-disgust.

What year? I've heard more complaints with 2006's and 2007's than all the others combined.

My 2010 has been solid, 6 speed as well

I did have a PDC issue, but it was a quick fix.

We had an 09 in Carbon Black with the SMG trans. We could have just had bad luck. Don't get me wrong, it was fun to drive and it's a hard feeling to replicate, but the maintenance was killer and it's not something we would recommend to someone who likes their wallet.

Horrible horrible horrible.

I speak from experience. Dad had his for a good 5 years. Full of nightmares. Me and my dad used to "try" to work on it and it was far too much of a pain in the ass. Rebuilding the VANOS was bonkers expensive, a basic brake service was ridiculous, and forget about changing the spark plugs. We said fuck it and traded it off to a Ford dealer for a Mustang 5.0 after we found out the block was porous and cracked somewhere we couldn't see, and the rear main seal was gone, AND one of the motor mounts were cracked . The BMW dealer told us we'd need a whole new engine, and the price wasn't worth it. We could buy a nice E46 M3 for what they were asking.

Yes the V10 is amazing. Yes "///M Mode" is amazing. The sound is incredible, even better with an aftermarket exhaust. But if one little Itty bitty thing goes wrong, everything else goes wrong. The SMG will be nice until you're in traffic or when it shits itself. It's very jerky and slow in traffic. On an autocross course, it's way more nimble then it's huge body would make you believe. It's very planted. A track is where the car belongs. As a summer car you can thrash on the weekends, maybe. That's what we had it for.

Don't consider it unless you have a metric fuckton of money for repairs.

You want a more reliable M5? Get an E39 or an E34. Fuck anything after that. Excluding the new ones since we haven't owned one yet. We've only had four M5s in our family: two E34s, one E39 and one E60.

EDIT: For further clarification.

[Stanley Rockafella]

what's the purpose of this vid? is it to sell the car or the chic? ....or both?

if both, it's not really doing it's job very well. If we are supposed to be getting a boner over the car, why is she wearing ripped jeans and a tight fitting shirt then rambling on about the car?

she should be telling us how many penises she can take at once! ;D

Sweet engine there, but never was a fan of the Dame Edna headlights

[rcsoundn1]

shit narration, sick car, would bang 10 out of 10.

[Exodus_2pt0]

And I want a Rolls Royce.

[James Crivellone]

it is a very heavy luxury car, nothing special

I've beaten the HELL out of mine on the racetrack and I have a shit eating grin every time I'm out there.

Nothing special is an understatement.. its a supercar in a 4 door sedan body.
