I'm a big fan of the E39 M5, but I have nothing against the E60 either..... if it was only made in stickshift.

There is a 6 speed manual available for the E60 M5. Hard to let go of the 7 series eh? I have yet to see any pre-owned E60 M5's at Rallye BMW here in NYC.

^^^ Exactly! Extremely rare around here locally. Like everything, it depends on your market specific area. They are holding value quite strong if you can find one here. The couple of White ones I found are both out of state and don't have the color/options I would want.
Oh well... we'll see....

not sure i understand how you cross shop a 7/flying spur/m5/gt-r/m3. and then look at wheels like that. but maybe that's just me.

Bro... R u serious?

I'm not cross-shopping a BENTLEY for God's sake! I can only hope to one day...

I posted it as a reference for my wheel choice for the M5 and how the Forgiatos would look in white.
Should i retain my 7 I would then want a Sports Coupe/Car. Thus the GT-R or M3 as a 2nd vehicle. I would not get a M5 and a GT-R. One 500hp monster is quite enuff.

Yep, just saw an M5 (baby sky blue color-don't know the technical bmw color term) with chrome rims this morning.
I must say it was stunning

If I were you, I would keep the 7 and get the GT-R

Get that GTR, txstyle, that thing will smoke almost anything on the street with mods.

Like the kit, but never a fan of the wheel.

It does look sweet with the kit. Just the right amount of extra flair without looking gaudy.
