Not a fan of most new cars/trucks but new m5 wow! (wipes drool off face)

Besides the vette, the silverado and the tahoe, most new cars are just ehhh to me... not worth the money, ugly, or have some weird thing about them (ram 1500 knob shifter)

Then I see this beauty. the 2019 m5 bmw, selectable 2wd, 4wd or 4wd sport.

0-60 in 3.1-3.2 seconds. Just when I thought I might be loosing some interest in cars... bam lol

It's amazing what the manfs. are coming out with these days.

Remember when 400hp was a lot?

And 13.0 was crazy fast for a street car

And people actually had to drive and park their cars?

"Overdrive Transmission!" "ABS Standard" "Cruise Control" all the phases of radios :rofl:

lol seriously in 02 when my dad bought an e46 bmw... he was like 333 hp who needs to go that fast (m3) ? and he got a 330ci which was 225 hp lol

New V6 Camaros put out more power then a 3rd gen. I've driven a few of the newer M3's and I'm a fan, I couldn't imagine an M5.

I'm sure a lot of the old farts on here who lived through the muscle car era of the 60s will scoff, but we are living in the golden age of speed right now.

You can get a Camry with nearly as much horsepower as my LS1 Camaro came with. That still boggles my mind.

The m5's are fun but all of these cars have so many electronics they don't have that raw feeling anymore. It will most definitely pin you to the seat.

Haven't tried it in RWD mode yet since most I see at this point are all before the 1200 mile break in, the others we dont have the front/rear diff fluids in stock to do during the 1200 so im going to avoid trying it just yet

Hell my "new" V6 Avenger has 285 hp and is a hoot to drive.

Fuggin dyno queens

Problem with the halo cars such as the M5 is that once the warranty runs out, pain is always around the corner - whether it be routine maintenance or something breaking - electronic or otherwise, it costs a fortune each time.


Not saying that all new cars aren't like that - they are for the most part, but certain models will hollow out your bank account way too quickly.

ohh yeah 100% ... only benefit is im a mechanic so i get parts for cost and labor for free lol

Looks like every other BMW on the road

So it looks like the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc but not the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, etc?

Looks like any of the other relatively new ones
