sounds like a good one this week guys

Tiff Needell gets an exclusive first televised drive in BMW's new saloon, the M5; Jason Plato reports from the glamorous Monaco Motor Show and gets an exclusive first drive in a 300,000 pound electric sportscar, the Venturi Fetish; and Vicki Butler-Henderson asks whether this is the perfect time to buy a fast MG.

This is going to suck, supercars are meant to depleate oil reserves.

What's so amazing about the M5? It's a sedan with a V10. Big deal. The Evo that Vicki just tested is faster than the M5 to 60 mph by a full second.

Man...... WTF was goin through your brain when you blurted out that remark???? images/smilies/wacko.gif

Whats so amzing about the M5?


I'm not even gonna list one thing.... Why you ask?

Because every bloke in this community could list a minimum of 20 things about the M5 that blows them away..Without even thinking......

It's not always about 0 - 100 times or max G loads in corners.....

The M5 would own that mass market lancer without crackin a sweat...

Wake up and smell the coffee.
