Couldn't resist, on the way back from shopping today, swung by the dealership. 2 2008 M5's in stock, 6k off list on the tags hanging from the mirror. I remember when an officemate paid 8k over list a few years ago for his. What sad times for America, we can't even buy a BMW without them subsidizing us with leases, low interest, and discounts. Hope the dollar has come close to bottoming-out.
btw at $86k, I wouldn't even dream of a M5 unless they took another 20k off. Then I might consider it but doubtful. That's insulting to pay that much for a car.....I'd have to live in Upper Saddle River in Kimora's old house before I'd spend that much. |

Never. E90 = amazing car for the price, and the M5/M6 are too big for my tastes.
Now, if we were talking about a car like the G-Power M3 CSL with a V10 or the Hamann E92 with 560-HP... |

While I could afford to drive a more expensive car (although not quite M6 territory), I believe the cost of the 335i is right about where I want to be. In fact, I wouldn't even trade for a new M3, because $65K is too much as well. I can't imagine dropping $100K on a single vehicle.
And even if they were both free, I'd get an M5 over an M6 personally.

im thinking bout getting an 06 m5 for around $62-65k, still cheaper than an e92 m3 and a bit more car. the money i save in the difference between the price of an m3 and a used m5 will go into mods. i didnt enjoy driving around in the 645ci i borrowed from my friend for a week, it seemed like an under powered boat. i would much rather drive an e90 or e92, especially a modded one. im sure an m6 is a completely different case. my dream would to have the hartge e90 with the v10 and 500+hp but i have no clue how much that would cost and what the resale value would be in the US after a couple of years, e90s are the perfect size of car for my taste.

Too big for my tastes. I have considered buying a used E39 M5 on the side. But when the day comes where I have M6 money, there'll be a 911 in my driveway.

![]() When I decided to replace the Z4 2.5i with something faster and hardtopped, I looked at everything - 6-series, 911, Cayman S, SLK, CLK, used SL500, blah, blah. Half of them are more luxury cruisers than sports car (the 911 is a great GT but still...) and for luxury I'd rather have a 4-door. In fact, I'm thinking of getting a 530i... |

But give me a 911S that is as special to me on a sunday morning when i'm going on a joyride as it in on Monday morning when i've come up with an excuse to "have to" drive it to work and you've got yourself a winner. Plus, childhood dreams never die. But in the meantime, the 335i is one heck of a midway point.
