Just brought myself a 2001 M5 for my other mode of transport....company car!

Does this mean I will be black balled by the Scooby community and sent into BMW exile even though I'm keeping the STI RA?

Dom.

M5=One of the few decent BMW's

nice car for cruising, oversteer on demand and watching TV in traffic jams.

I was considering one of these for my next car as I need something better for cruising (motorway not McDonalds).

If you don't mind me asking how much did it set you back? The depreciation on these cars keeps putting me off.

As long as you remember 2 things:

1) The fast lane doesn't belong to you
2) You have indicators - use them

It's not the fast lane it's the over taking lane!! I've just had a blue tooth car kit fitted so no phone stuck to my ears!!

I'll try and remember about the driving/fog light thing!

Thanks for not exiling me....I still love my scoob!

Dom.

OH and the car cost 35K for a 2001 on a 'Y' plate with all the goodies. The car cost 59K 23 months ago!!

No, its just means that everyone will say they can beat an M5 (yawn) cos Scooby is king and there is no other car on the planet that is as capable as a Scooby. hmmmmmmmmmm

Trouble is, everyones got one, all the other manufacturers have caught up, the Japanese Supercar is now dead and a spoiler that looks like a carry handle is no longer a thing to die for!!!!

Mind you, I loved mine but like the Golf R32 better D:
