M5 good news OR bad news?
According to AUTOCAR 2 April:
"...Today's M5 will continue to be produced until the end of May at the Dingolfing factory near Munich. Officials claim demand for the four-year-old car remains strong, though it must pass into history with the existing 5-series as it is assembled on the same line"

What do you guys think?

It's good news for those of us with Beasts already or who have their cars on order. With demand strong, the value of our M5's will be maintained; that is untill the E60 M5 with 500+ HP is available (provided the next Beast looks and performs better than this one). The E60 M5 will have pretty big shoes to fill.
The bad news is for those who want a new one and will not be able to get one.

Good news for me. Bad news for someone hoping to buy soon. Let's just hope the next M5 knocks the horsepower sox off the latest supercharged and turbocharged competiton.
