if I remember correctly the last M5 came standard with stuff like heated seats and navigation, so I would hope the new one does too.

So basically $90K might buy you a M5 with the same options that a loaded M3 would have, which would make it around a $15K-$20K premium, not bad.

of course I am sure there will be a $2K sound system, $4K dynamic something package, $4K super premium package, $4K tech package (on top of standard nav), $2K wheels... so yes $105K-$110K "loaded" is possible, but I think plenty would be happy with the "standard" $90K car. I will be looking for a used one in 2 years, so all you buying it new please load up on options since those add little to resale

When I was hearing $95K starting price last month I thought BMW was crazy, because thats what a CLS 63 cost, the E63 AMG starts $2K cheaper BUT has 40 less HP, to get it on par with the M5, you have to add a $7K performance package, meaning the M5 is actually $5K cheaper than an equal performing E63, good job BMW! Now lets see a $7K BMW performance package giving this monster 600 HP and including whatever dynamic handling/suspension package will be available
