thats a lovely car. m5 has always been my favorite sport sedan, but just never have the $$$ to step up to the game. Keep in mind your m5 has a new competitor coming out soon, the new RS6, a beast. v10 biturbo w/ 580hp. have fun w/ your lovely car. great choice and great color

Nice acquisition... Big improvement performance wise on the GS430. I would dare say looks as well, but some people might hang me upside down by my toes...
