2006 M5-- An Outstanding Achievement!!
I just turned in my 2003 M5 for this new 2006 M5. Surprisingly there is little in common between the two cars. The 2006 M5 is much more dynamic and exciting to drive. It outperforms the older model in every way, even in the 400hp mode. The new M5 is a blast to drive and I look forward to getting in the car every morning. The 2006 M5 has surpassed my expectations and I feel it is under-priced at 90K.
Unbelievable Once You See the Car
The car is stunning and incredible once you see it on the showroom floor and then actually take it for a drive. I previously owned a 1998 540I and there is no comparison. I looked at the 2006 550I and again, no comparison. A fabulous car with many technologically advanced features. It is amazing to hear the sound of the engine when you start the car and as you wind up the RPMs. There is no doubt that there is a high performance engine under the hood.

Amazing performance
Deciding between this and the 911 4S was a tough decision, but they are comparing apples and oranges. The fact that you can get this type of performance in a four door "sedan" is unbelievable. Anyone who has been around BMWs before knows of their intense performance, but lack of "luxury" - this car really has it all. The available optins are fantastic (the comfort access is a must!). Bottom line, this car is truly a spectacular machine. Not only does it outperform just about everything on the road, its style is set apart enough from the standard 5 series that you catch a lot of looks in it.
Astounding
The M5's technology enables virtually infinite adjustments to suit the driver and the driving conditions. It is like having a bespoke car: the driver can adjust transmission, suspension and horsepower settings to your liking. And there is a lot to choose from given this car's great capabilities. It handles beautifully, with precise steering and road feel. The M5 has ample power, with up to 500 hp. I owned the previous generation M5, and the 2006 is a tremendous improvement in terms of both performance and comfort. And I like the fact that the car is a "sleeper". Unless they know their cars, most people won't know that the M5 is one of the best performing cars on the road.
A wolf in sheep's skin.
A wonderful driving machine. A pleasure on long trips, but a blast though out the canyons.
