Nothing compares to an M5.

Pros: Safe, fast, luxurious, and a great eye catcher.
Cons: Little things break, but it's covered by a warranty.
The Bottom Line:
Best Car on the road. If you can afford it, get it because it's fast, it's safe, and it's an eye catcher.
This is without a doubt the best car on the road. Sure there's the Dodge Viper that goes for $20,000 less, but the M5 is the most practical car for the speed. The pros are it seats up to five people, it's a sedan, it's super fast, luxurious, eye-looker, and just about everything else is perfect. The cons are there are a lot of little things that break, but you're lucky because it's all covered by the warranty. I'm not a current owner of an M5, but my 23 year old brother is. And last week he got in a car accident while letting his friend drive at night, well they were going at 6500 rpm@70 mph and a dog ran in front of the car, so they swirved and another car was in front of them, so they had to hit the breaks and then the car spun into a parked car. All 12 airbags deployed, their seatbelts tightened to brace them for impact, and they both walked away with nothing worse than a little shock. The only thing that I can say is thank you BMW. The M5 is the best car on the road, I recommend it to anyone who can afford it.
