I think NeVeTaS is having a 6 month itch.

Last time we spoke he did mention that the RS was proving too harsh for everyday use, and he wanted something a little more comfotable.

So guess it must be him?? I wonder how long 507bhp and 204mph will keep him happy?

I start the bidding at 3 weeks

Just spoke to NeVeTaS on the phone, he has something special planned for next year so got rid of the RS and has a 55 plate M5 till May next year.

Apparently BMW offered the best price for the RS so he decided on the M5, after getting poor bids from Aston, Bentley, Porsche & Audi.

NeVeTaS make sure you also have it in full power mode & come and take me for a spin ASAP.

What colour is it? Forgot to ask.....

lol ... can't believe i'd be associated with an M5!!!!!

Car for 50+ years olds IMO. If I was ever going to go the M route with my motors it would be an M6 but again that would be at a serious push.

You can buy a 575M for around the 76k mark or even a very very nice 360F1 and (from experience) they are much more fun and satisfying.

Drove an M5 three weeks ago and it just didn't give me anything to sit there and go wow with.

Don't get me wrong Steve (Nevetas) it's a fab motor but not the gangsta's cup of tea.

Gansta from speaking with Nev I don't think he purchased the car to keep, it's purely because he has a new car on order and BMW offered the most money for the RS so he thought he'd try the M5 for a while.

After all when your buying a new car every 3 months you may aswell try them all!

He can't get online at the moment, but hopefully will have his new PC built soon

I've never been in a new M5, but the ring taxi comes past me like I'm going backwards, not bad for a big heavy saloon car. :notworhty

The M5 is awesome!

Went out in it yesterday......goes like **** off a shovel with the M button engaged! Not too shabby in standard cruising mode either!

The seats are so cool, the side supports inflate and deflate as you corner to hold you in the right place.

Nice one mate....look forward to seeing your next purchase soon.
