Uah, seeeexy...
The 5series is much better than the 7. And who cares, its an M5. 7spd Manual? No thanks, I like to shift, not THAT much. I also don't like SMG at all. I test drove an M3 about a month ago with 19" SSRs and SMG and I just didn't like the way it shifted. Yeah, its faster but I would rather row my own. I drove it right after a G35 Coupe with the brembos and had a lot more fun. I also felt almost scared driving it. It was a far surpirior car but I have to say I had more fun with the infiniti just because I wasn't scared to play a little I guess. I'm sure things would change if I owned it but. Just something I noticed. My best friends dad is a BMW NUT, hes gotten two 7s since they came out (the second was the sport) and his wife just got the new 6 convertible last weekend. I haven't gotten to play with the iDrive yet much but I did get to play with Audi's version and wasn't too turned off by it. But, i'm a nerd like that though. I think BMW is a step ahead of everyone else. As much as we don't like to be surrounded by computers, its going to happen more and more. So get used to it boys! Us toyota folk can't say much either. I played with a Highlander with navi the other day and it was all, you guessed it! Computer Based. Even the climate controls and all of that. I thought it was a little inconvienent but liveable. I like the touch screen idea better, but I haven't lived with both so I can't say for sure.
Just my .02
oh, I almost forgot... I don't like the wheels in silver, they offer the same thing for the regular 5 but a size smaller (it might be the 7 but not sure, I know ive seen them on something other than the M5 though). I like the darker color MUCH better.
