Corners at 130+.....  its a sportz car...  over 160mph and still as smooth as silk! This is an amazing car to drive and can only assume that the 2008+ M5's are exponentially more "fun".  Will hope I never own anything elso but a BMW!

Pros: Handeling
Cons: Stero system is built into dash electronics making it difficult to add aftermarket Equipment

Overall, I can say this car is an amazing and lovely car. First of all, the car carries a 4.4L V8 engine with 286 hp and it has the torque of about 324 ft-lbs at 3600 rpms. The chassis is solid and well built, thus making the car very safe. The car also has a very nice and smooth feel to it and I personally enjoy driving it.

Pros: Very fast and powerful car, built very solidly, reliable car, luxurious, and fun to drive.
Cons: Has a lot of small problems, and it takes a lot of money to modify/fix. The mpg on this car sucks a lot as well.

BMW 540i. Very powerful car and closest to a E39 M5. Equipped with an auto gear and loaded with options like: Nappa leather, full AC schnitzer bodykit, Original M5 rims, head lamp washer, rain detector, M5 Bootlid, roof aerial, AC Schnitzer exhaust.

Pros: Everything is good
Cons: Probably the price. Paid close to $330,000 and not fuel economical.
