OT: Car shopping... E39 M5, '05 545i, C6 4.2, C5 S6

mchang · 04-03-2008, 03:22 PM

I really would like one of our cars to be a bit bigger (2xB5s 1xB3) to haul kid crap. I will not drive an SUV. I would prefer not to get a wagon, but will consider baller wagons like the S6.

Whaddya think?

1) E39 M5
2) '05 545i
3) C6 4.2
4) C5 S6

Anything I'm missing?

M5 out of those options. Seems apples to oranges tho. Out of the other 3, I'd go with the S6.

I vote E550 if you can swing it. 5.5L V8 with 382hp/391tq.

e39 m5 0-60 is about 5.3s
e60 545i 0-60 is about 5.3s with the manual

so....

Seriously, read about the E39 that drove across the US in 31 hours... I just looked at one in a showroom in Wellesley, gunmetal on black, mint, 29k miles, sold for $28k .... look for one in blue like your S4 FTW!!

And come check out the gumball E39 on May 9 at the museum of transportation. Myself and some serious baller cars will be there... Stradale etc..

For that reason, I'd vote E39 M5 out of those options. Seems apples to oranges tho.
