Anyone else kill things? Shot my first buck with my bow. I thought it was bigger LOL, but I'm okay with it for what I have!

I have riden in an automatic 540i and was blown away by how sideways they can get...

Turns out the new Sgt at work is a big car guy as well, spent half the shift yesterday and again today just talking cars, and he was quick to point out that a $26,000 car loan is "only" $500/month.. And with that seed planted, all I can do is think about the e92 M3s and e60 M5s that are in that price range... cripes

Buy a $3200 toyota minivan instead. Its great for hauling things, road trips, and crying yourself to sleep

That does sound perfect.. Can I lap the Nurdburgerring faster than a 1997 Camry?

[B C]

Camrys and siennas all run sub 7 minute laps. Anyone that keeps count faster than that is just involved in their own little penor measuring contest.

But really. Financing cars is scary, this is why i have cheap crap

With that said, just bite the pillow and get an m5!

[Ryan...]

I've always wanted another M5, and dat V10..... But, the more I think about it, the more I believe I should just wait for the e92 M3 to drop in price a little more. I dont know that I could handle sub 10 MPG and the potential rod bearing issues. Sounds like the 6 speed trans is directly out of the e39 M5, which was a good transmission, but many on m5board have said it doesn't feel right in the e60. The 7 speed SMG was meant for that car, but I haven't found a single person without some complaint about comfort/maintenance on the SMG system.
