No crap!

I wish I would have known! I have been looking very seriously at a 2000 M5 the last two days. I might not be ready for the plunge just yet though.

Do it! You know, as long as it's low mileage. Those engines aren't the most reliable on the planet.

Look for an 01 and up M5, there were some revisions to the motor. M5 was on my list, awesome cars!

You know me and boats. I love them as daily drivers. Plus this thing has so many damn airbags, I figure that idiot that will plow into me wont actually kill me.

Versus the Nissan, where I'd be soup.

This is an awesome daily driver that requires a mechanics touch at times. They are pretty modable but there is a definite line of the proven path and insanity...one I plan on not crossing.

I love the M5's. I was looking at a higher mileage M3 at Sears Imports and this Audi, just didn't want the extra $$ into a daily driver. It is really hard to try to justify a rwd sports car as a commuter car in Minnesota.
