E60 M5....anyone have/had one?

[joseph camel jr]

Can you tell me the pros and cons, specifically ones that aren't obvious, like the 500 hp or the iDrive that people seem to either love or hate.

 

[chris boshs neck]

i would try an actual bmw forum for this question.

 

[joseph camel jr]

Getting an unbiased opinion on car forums is next to impossible, especially one that caters towards one brand. Also, I'm too lazy to create an account.

i never owned one but i drive a friend of mine's m5 often, i never even touched the idrive, i'm too busy listening to that v10 rumbling.. lol the mosttechno-savvy thing i did in the m5 was plug my ipod into it so i can listen to music.. otherwise im in the car to drive not to use the computer

 

[lurkin2long]

word son, e60.

forget an opinion if you can copp that, just go copp

Dont Ben gotta e60 M5?....his joint looks sick....he threw 22's on it so I dont know about the ride of the car.....but it looks fierce...

 

[dunkishh]

Go for it if it's still covered under the manufacturer warranty.
I don't mind doing stuff on my e36 M3, but I would be afraid to touch a big V10 like that.

what is your question again?

 

[joseph camel jr]

I don't know if I'd do much to it, which might make it less fun than some of the other cars I was considering, like the E92 335i.

The V10 is naturally aspirated....I could get the engine bored and stroked so it put out 600hp....at a cost of $30,000 from Dinan

I guess I could throwsome engine software and a 3.91 LSD, but not much else.

I mean it's a sick car, but I want to know how good it is before buying....I'm at school right now, a test drive seems out of the question.

he mentioned the 335, that looks like an m3 sedan you posted.

 

[joseph camel jr]

Third on my list. Obviously a superior car to the 335i, but since it's NA and a lot of money ($85,000+) I wouldn't really drop much on mods oranything. If I were to leave a car stock, I'd rather get the M5 since it's such a straight-line monster (I won't be tracking any of these sohandling isn't as big of a deal).

But just as appealing is spending a whole lot less on the 335i, which of course is twin-turbo, and going nuts on the mods. I've never really done any realaftermarket stuff on a car, and it could be fun.

Ask Ben how he got 630rwhp out of his without a stroker kit, forced induction, or nitrous.

i know he said 335 but i assumed he meant to say m3. what a gap between 335 and m5

 

[myjaysgetrocked]

Exactly what I said, when he posted his e60 m5. He was talking out of his butt.

...And if that isnt the biggest rip-off, i dont know what is.

I mean seriously, you can grab another stock engine and have Jason Heffner boost it for that 40k figure and get a warranty from him. You could easily force the800-900 range of out it reliably, and if you blow up the motor, throw your old one back in.

Dinan is all about the name.

 

[kaycurrency]

Just go nuts and cop an Individual 2009 750li

The car has Ceramic control switches! CERAMIC! No other car uses Ceramic as an interior accent...plus its astandard TT V8...
