So I just saw the awsome specs for the new BMW M5 and was completely in awe. Then I saw the sales price. A hefty $94,000 american.

Wow.

Discuss.

Well I've looked it up in google images, and from looks alone (I know nothing about V8 engines or anything, so even if it turned out I hadn't just made that up and it actually has one I wouldn't really know what that meant) it doesn't actually look worth $94,000 o-o. I mean I thiiink (correct me if I'm completely wrong) that's about £60,000 and you can get far more attractive Jags for that amount of money.

It this expensive b/c of the audio/visual extras it comes with. Navigation display, The I-radio system ( Im assuming it like the Ipod), programmable buttons on the steering wheel for the seats and mirrors etc. I didn't catch it all but that was some of it.

Aaah, that helps explain it then, still, that's some serious cash for a car, but I would be rather greatful to see a few more pictures, because I'm convinced my search came up with other BMW's o-o.

Took me a while to find a decent site. I origionally saw it on tv, but couldn't find any decent info on the channels website. So here is info from Forbes magazine.... Check the site out.

Looking at it on that site I don't think it is worth the money. Gagdet-full or not, the interior isn't as flas as it could be for that money and I don't like the way the back of the car looks here.

However, I do think the exterior of the front of the car is nicer then I first thought ^-^.

I agree I don't like the back either. And like you I would not spend my money to buy it.

it isnt the LOOKS you are paying for, its BMW, the name on it i mean, and the dependability. it probably goes a decent speed too.

V8 500hp..... Yeah I would say so. The previous BMW was only 394 hp
