Hey, dont let me put you off one, they are really great cars but they are no "M" car. A lot of folk think the M5 is just a 540 with a 400bhp engine, but its really not, the whole drivetrain is very different, as well as the rear track and of course it has an LSD.

Weight distribution is one of the things that sets the M5 apart, its very balanced and engineered that way. Even the battery was located centrally where as the normal E39 is on the side.
