I liked PRCHE951's M5 so much, I went to the same dealer and bought the other one, a '06 Indy Red on black M5. I figured out the P500 mode, and in manual mode it's pretty amazing!

I gotta spread it around before giving to you again. Car looks great. I really like that color.
So lets see:
We have the same P-cars, the same M-cars, same HKUSP's and same M14's. My wife does not have a sister. Oh well, can't help you there

Chris, I think this is an Eisenman Exhaust on this car:

Maybe get the wife this exhaust and headers for her birthday

Good job. IMO these guys nuts ignoring the "ferrrari" V10 in that thing. maybe not the fastest of the bunch, but definitely the sportiest. Call it the GT3 of the bunch. Most M cars go down in history, but I think the high revving cars will establish their own special niche. Yes the upcoming cars will have turbo power and near unlimited modability, but they won't rev to over 8,000 RPM.

this is an easy choice... for your area and weather the rs6 would be awesome.. its fast, comfortable, roomy, and safe... it looks awesome and you wont see 3 of them everytime you drive... and at this time they are a bargain ( unfortunatly ) i bought mine new = ) like another poster said get rid of DRC or make sure the car you buy just had the recall.. good luck

that is what I was thinking and why I went with it. It may not be the fastest accelerating, but definitely the best engine. also the highest top speed, not that it matters

Prche951 - you mention highest top speed - what do you est your top speed is on the M5? I am curious 'cause my E55 is 185 since I had the ecu mod. And yes I have had it up to 180 plus on the track. A handful - but most anything is at that speed.
