RPiM5 your calculations are all correct and we can all look and analyze my decisions in all sort of ways lol

The way it makes sense in my head financially is like this.

June of 2012 I had the option to buy a brand new M5 for $105k or a great deal on a very light use 550 for $54k i made the decision to go with the 550

now 10 months later after spending $17k on performance I realize I need the M5.

Today I spent $89k on the M5 I could have gotten 10 months ago, yes I missed out in 10 months of driving the M5 however I got to play with a cool 550 which my wife will now enjoy and since 10 months ago the M5 would have been $16k more than what I just spent..

GUESS WHAT! I now have $16k that I can spend in performance on the M5 1000hp here we come!!! lol

Honestly sometimes is hard to justify buying any of these cars.. We will always loose I just try and find ways to loose a bit less each time..

HAHAHA Jason! Here is my input, we first drove my car then I drove his car. It was safe to say the M5 was much faster. The transmission in the 550 had me very confused, the DCT in the M5 is just insane as we all know. But, man after driving his car, the exhaust Juan had on his 550 was absolutely sick! It seriously sounded louder then an AMG, the M5 was more of a "Screamer", even though it wasn't barking as loud. We drove by a cop directing traffic and he immediately turned around, LMAO. I seriously can't wait to do a full exhaust with straight pipes. As soon as the M5 shifted it was gone, the 550 definitely held it's ground, mainly I think because of traction, but I do think his 550 might of had more torque. My Rear tires are almost out and want to Atleast get 10k miles, before I change them, LOL. In MDM, I have been getting massive amounts of wheelspin in 1st and 2nd, I actually have found my car picking up better going with traction on until I hit 3rd gear. After 100, the M5 is definitely gone, But I was so impressed with his Stage 4 550, thing was definitely fast. Can't wait to see what you do to your New Blue M5!!

I first get a " I think Im'a wait a couple of months for the M5 and see what Im gonna do" 5 minutes later I get this text, HAHAHAHAHA.

OK Im done typing LOL.

This thread is what this forums are all about! Just two enthusiasts enjoying cars and testing them out! No stupid comments and no putting down people. Congrats on the new blue beast, it is truly an amazing car. I might do the same and just say f$#£ it and get one. I know after driving rob m5's car for a couple hours, I actually almost cried when getting back in my car haha.

HAHAHA, No problem, you could have saved yourself a lot of money! P.S to other owners, It's one thing driving an M5, but being in the passenger seat of one is a whole other experience! Simply epic.

I know what you mean. When I was at the ///M Performance School last month, I got to sit in the passenger seat while the instructor drove it around the track. It's almost too fast to describe!

What are the mods on the E39?
You come on strong at the top end, but in a 1/4 mile I'd say that you might have a half a car to a car on the E39. Guess it depends on the distance you are going to race. Might want to get a few more mods before taking on a E60.

However, the inverse is if you bought an M5 to begin with, you could have saved the expense of buying a 550 as well and then modding it. When you sell the 550, the money spent on the mod's is practically lost. In this scenario the M5 would have been a cheaper route. In any case, welcome and enjoy the M5!!

The E39 M5 is bone stock!

I had a modded E39 M5 in the past, and I couldn't improve on 13.4 even with BFG drag radials.

My GS460 does 13.9 with street tires!

So yes, as things stand, i might not stand a chance against a stock M5 on the 1/4 mile.

Just curious, what ET does a stock E39 M5 do?
