i'm down to scrap over this
Look what happens if you turn it a bit more to the right....

You'd probably go through a set of PSS every 4 months lol.
yep.


drove a E60 M5 in stock that had the six speed.



it is a match made in heaven when paired with that V10. balance of fun and power.... and those revs...... :sweetjesus:

Those E60/E63 cars don't feel like boats like the current gen cars either. Fun fact: E60/63 cars use more aluminum in the front end, current cars only use steel; more weight savings on the front.

good god. I'd ditch my M3 in a heart beat for a mint six speed LCI E60 M5 (in any color)

Tbh, aesthetics wise, the bangle cars are meh, but the driving experience is very very BMW. (well shitty electronics were part of it too... and leaky trunks)

Fun fact+: The E60 530i only weighs 20lbs more than the E90 330i. If you factor in the larger gas tank in E60, both cars weigh the same.

flagella 02-16-2016 04:52 AM
It's not the prettiest car but I wouldn't call it ugly. Not to mention the sound it makes overshadows its looks

the smg ratios suit the car better.

the 6 speed makes the car feel sluggish.

westopher 02-16-2016 07:55 AM
I didn't think that was the case with the e60s. I've only heard people mention that with the f10

Believe it or not, but the E60 M5 is actually quite soft under 3000rpms. It really needed gears. After that get ready for endless pull to redline. Long term maintenance on the E60 M5 will be nuts, but the sound and NA pull to redline is truly blood curling.

As time goes on I think the "Bangle" design cars are looking better with time. The flame surfacing was way ahead of its time.

imho, I think the E60 M5 6sp manual will be more sought after than the E39 M5. No one is ever is going to make a 5.0l V10 with 500+hp.

haha, I am suck a loser, I traded my mint alpine white 2008 LCI M5 60k kms (fully loaded with Alcantara headliner and the coveted comfort seats with Active bolsters) for $33K about 2 year ago!

Glass photo certainly suggests it has bullet-proof glass. Can't confirm the doors/chassis are protected without further photos/teardown or information.

proper road test procedure for an armored benz (they might ask for a full non-returnable deposit though :lol ):

That appears to me to be additional lexan added to the exterior of the glass, but I could be wrong.

Pretty sure that would just be some sort of high-line model. There are a few e32 7 series around locally with very similar packages. Individual high line models with 3/4" thick glass, all that jazz
