Dat v10
Great Performer... Not too sure on that rear end though. Of course my opinion doesnt hold any weight because compared to what i'm driving now the M5 is god like.
But still

Yea the rear kinda rubbed a lot of folks da wrong way. But you know I love those fat asses 
My uncle had one for a minute.
That V10 is fast as shyt on the top end. Its a monster past 100mph. Sounds great too.
Problem is, the transmission is garbage for anything resembling driving around town. And its a heavy ass car with no torque. Its a pain to drive like a normal car.
Its maintenance intensive too but that comes with the territory.
Overall, it was good for its day but they fixed a lot of its problems with the new one. I'd rather own a CTS-V. All the performance without the headaches.

THE SMG transmission is a bytch to fix and replace.
That car drinks gas like nothing and the tank is pretty small so youll be filling up twice a week.

Truthfully I would rather roll the dice on an old ViperI'd rock an E60 M5 easy (Manual only though). Gorgeous in Alpine white, and my only realistic shot at owning a vehicle with 10 cylinders
Same gas mileage, better platform, different but less severe issues. Old ones are prob cheap too
The whole E60 range was kinda
They went too techno like Jay on BP3. Fiber optic harness 
Older M5s are the way to go. Any of em
Yea i know but it wouldnt be my everyday car. Ive heard that the SMG is a bytch so i was thiking bout getting the manual
....i know that maintenance is a bytch but you gotta pay to play.ThumpDaddy

Nice weekend car, but not something you would drive everyday. How much are they going for now-a-days?

No torque, shytty transmission, shytty gas mileage, kind of unattractive rear-end, will cost an arm and a leg in maintenance.
Skip it.
