Default What car to replace my M5?

My car goes in for some crash repairs soon and as its a no fault I get a 'similar' car from BMW. Basically I should be able to pick any car I like. My first impulse was M6 which the man there said may well be possible but then realised I can't get my son into the back of it

What should I ask for to play around for a few days? Quite fancy trying the 335

Nothing too bad. A motorbike coming the opposite way lost control veered across to my side of the road and smashed into my side. Just scratches and dents really. Bike didn't look too healthy though!

Don't think there'd be any CSLs as a courtesy car?

Try the 4.8 X5 or the 760i. Only the biggest and most polluting will do!!
