I'm 18, look like I'm 20's because my Punjabi roots gave a lot hair so I have a full beard going on right now. The thing is these dealers are notorious for doing because we have a lot window shoppers here in the bay so they don't want to putting on there demo cars i guess, well at least what I was told by couple of friends. Yea the DCT to my pleasant surprise felt like PDK, I was expecting something similar to a E-Gear Gallardo but it felt a ton better I mean way better it was unbelievably fast. Merc is something else man though I wish it had equally fast tranny because it takes corners like a champ, that exhaust was heavenly, only can imagine what the exhaust would be with a pair of down pipes. Cabin noise was noticeably less too and use of better leather in the interior materials too. But I have love wide wheels, I know can get 11's easy in the M5 rears but not more than 10's, 10.5 with an aggressive offset/camber but at that rate I would be changing tires every 5000 miles, thats just a hassle. In the ned if I had to I would M5 and honestly the old M3 and the M5 is the BMW's I actually like, other that I would Merc all day. Quote:

I'll go ahead and say this, and I intend no disrespect, but I still think you are too young for the M5. Yes you've driven your parents' performance cars, and yes you're in the position to do whatever the hell you want with your money, but hear me out. No matter how much experience you have behind the wheel as a teenager (perceived or otherwise) 560 HP is an absurd amount for a relatively new driver to have. Statistically speaking, your age group from 18-25 are more than twice as likely to get into an accident than any other age group. Before I hear someone say "But most race car drivers are young", which is a valid statement, let me make one thing clear: Driving on the street is different from driving on a controlled environment!! Driving a car like the M5 can become really cumbersome in the real world, and it's very easy to make yourself look like an idiot. The car has varying degrees of traction issues depending on the surface or temperature and can BITE you in certain instances where you have a clumsy foot. IMO, work your way up to a nice car like the M5 and drive something slower and humble (but still fun) for now. M3 or IS-F fit the bill, or even slower cars than that. Driving a worse car in the meantime will not only tailor your skills, but will also make you appreciate a car like the M5 that much more in the future. You'll thank me later!

Seriously though, good job on the business. Indians sure like to hustle man. I started a diamond wholesale company, so I can hook it up on some bling if you get me a good deal on a semi-truck shipment or something. I recently got a 2014 M5 Comp Pkg. Its damn fast, and its definitely a sports car. Its going to be a much firmer ride than you're used to in the LX. |

Damn... What's with all the young guys getting a sports sedan more suited to an executive. Lol. At 36, married and working as a business professional, the M5 is an appropriate car that affords me comfort, practicality and some fun. Just my .02.
At your age I was looking for two seater sports cars. One seat for me and one for my date. Get an AWD 911.

You indian btw? Yea I realized when I test drove nothing I can't get used too. My LX is floaty as hell, if I turn faster than I should I actually risk falling on to the passengers seat, lol. Quote:

This post is a waste of time. Just get the car you want and post some pictures when you do. It's your decision to get whatever you like. Just drive safely.

Many easy ways around that. At least in my circle it was never a problem on how to transport the party from one location to another. And when we were partying at that level we always had private driver(s) with appropriate forms of transportation.

Much cheaper than drunk driving fines and consequences... And MUCH cheaper than killing yourself and/ or others.
Also...it's not as expensive as you might think if you split it 2-4+ ways. Either way... Cheers and happy hunting!

I guess it was fun going hunting but I have to delay my purchase for a while, I'm kind of sad, I talked to my dad about it and he said I should wait a couple years solely because he doesn't want me to risk my life, he said the same thing you guys said he feels it has a lot power for RWD chassis and told me I should get used to power in a AWD platform, basically his Turbo, and told me get some practice in the '11 S63 before the new one arrives. It's kind of bummer but it's in my best interest and he told once I get used the AWD get and then get a 300hp-450hp RWD, something thats chuckable but won't get me in a horrible accident. He told me just because I the the funds doesn't mean I have the skill handle that much power going to the rear wheels, basically gave me a reality check, lol. Thanks for the advice guys!

In the mean time, check out programs like Skip Barber and start learning proper car control. If you have the means, and it appears that you do, it will be money very well spent.
