The fact that is looks too much like every other 5.
Advice to buyer:
Get one as soon as you can afford one.
Detailed review:
I have owned the M5 for 3 months and 3,000 miles
It is by far the fastest 4 door car. The GPS system is clear and easy to use. The heating system is very simple and typically very (German) effecient. Nothing compares to the excitemtent of nailing the accelerator to the floor. It hauls in every gear. In fourth gear, cruising on the freeway you can put the pedal to the floor and get the feeling you are in second gear as you pass every car on the road, with the possible exceptions of a new corvette. The price for the 2001 M5 was slightly above the number you have stated but for the thrill of driving this fine automoblie and not seeing a million of them on the road it is well worth every dollar.
