I managed to get some time at the auto show yesterday and finally see the new beast in person.
All I can say is WOWmmmmmm
I honestly have no idea how or why anyone could complain about the looks of this car. I don't want to initiate the Bangle debate on this post but to my eye the E60 M5 stands apart in a vast sea of blandness. Turns heads like no MB saloon could ever.
I've attached a few pics and would offer a couple of observations:
I did learn however that Canadian deliveries are not going to meet the Sept target - more like Dec. Fine by me, I'll wait for an 07.
Out of time for now. Enjoycherrsagai

I've attached a few pics and would offer a couple of observations:
- Interlagos Blue is stunning. I will seriously consider over black
- The wood grain looked out of place in this car. I'll go piano black
- I was surprised at the clearance of the fender over the front wheels. A little like the e39 in that there is more space up front than in the back
- Front calipers look massive, rears look puny. Disks are pizza sized front and back
- Did I say I find the design stunning? oh ya, I did...:byee55amg
- When I look at comparable saloons like the e55, cls55 or s class they just don't evoke any emotion. The cls is beautiful to look at from the outside but from the inside it is claustrophobic up front and downright coffin like in the back.
- When I look at the price to performance ratio of cars like the SL55, SL65 I can't believe what we are getting in the M5 - and it's so practicle to boot!
- Wow, as you can see I'm well on my way to justifying the purchase of this new beast as a practicle and affordable supercar! - Hey compared to the SL's it'll be like I'm "making money":haha2:
