Nice to get an idea of what my eventual F replacement is going to look like.

Thanks. Had a 2004 545i before...traded up for it. The M-Aero Kit gives it a very aggressive look....I think it makes the car look MUCH better. The 550i feels very fast, so I can only imagine what this next gen M5 will feel like.

DaShocker, thanks for the pics. I see lots of the F01 in the overall shape of the car...loving it.

Same here.

Well in any case, as long as it's better than the current S85 engine, then it should be fine for me

G hilarious I also focused on the wheels. I hope it looks better. I'm amazed at the depreciation of the v-10 m5 and 550.. Nuts!

No way, the looks ever grew on me. I'm recommending it to a bud of mine though, he was shocked when I told him prices were rock bottom. Pretty sure that is what he will go with.

E55 is also in the running actually......

Its funny but in 5-10 years, car meets won't be filled with riced out Civics and Hondas....the entire lot will be used AMG, Lexus, Audi, BMWs, etc etc with all the FANTASTIC vehicles today that will be used gold!!

Jags, volvos, INfinitis, Caddys....amazing really.

What's to be surprised of? ........

We continue to be in a full blown R E C E S S I O N!

And the Luxury car segment particularly has been hit hard. No mystery there for most here. Folks are picking up all kinds of steals every day. CLS55 AMG can be had in upper $30's. I find that even more amazing personally.
