Is this SMG no good on the E39? I was considering buying the 545i w. SMG but I guess I could just opt out and get the auto. There are a number of cars in that price range I am considering, I still have 10 months before I get my license back lol

IMO, the new 5 series is a step back in styling however I think the thing looks a lot better in person but still doesn't have that excitement of the last gen. Pretty disappointing to see BMW move to a way more conservative design.

I think it looks good, but the E39 is still the M5 of my choice.

its smooth, but it shifts incredibly slow unless you're hitting redline. i drove an m3 dct and fell in love with that thing. might have even considered it over a 6mt if i was to ever get one lol.

E39s never came with smg. and the smg in the e60 545 is SMG1 i believe, which is complete shit. i'd opt for the auto and save some money when the time for repairs come.

the front looks good to me. it is like the M3's bigger, more powerful older brother.
but I'm not feeling the back, too boring.

the first post is blank? the linked pictures don't appear to be working.


edit: after thinking about BMW's current car designs, it makes me think that maybe BMW needs Chris Bangle back?!

E60 is where its at....

F10 is appealing to more buyers of this category I think, cuz they wont want to work for their power...i assume that people who are in the market for M5s are big business men or whatever... (unless you are in Richmond, then its ... just ..umm ya)

the new F10 V8TT is smth like 501TQ @ 1500rpm.... "American Muscle" anyone?

Skip to 1:30, V10 sounds good, but the S62 V8 was the best.

would still perfer the E39 gen for a M5.

current F10 series 5 series are quite bloated.. theyre about the same size as the last gen 7 series.

still, the madonna "star" commercial was just


im pretty sure most of us would perfer the exotic sound of the older E60 series V10 howl over the newer perhaps muffled twin turbo V8 sound.


the E39 NA 5.0 V8 sounds awesome in real life... and especially with an aftermarket system.

The front intakes are looking huge, but actually I think the F10 is one of the nicest-looking 5ers out of all of 'em. Definitely nicer than the current gen imo.
