I believe it is that BMW is looking at prospective customers who could potentially buy the car.

+1

I am studying mechanical engineering and I want to work for BMW one day, but i doubt that this is more of an convincing factor for them than somebody that has millions and is ready to buy the car as soon as it comes out.

I'd do anything for such an experience (especially at my age), i think it could be a life changing experience for anyone that is into cars as much as i am. Totally jealous !

Just say lol.


Anyways, the car is a beast but still think the v10 m5 was a better car all around. The new one just does not have that much of an aggressive look compared to the e60.
LOL no brotha non of us armenians will have the chance

I think he has somewhat of a point though. I don't think you should discount him too much.

Also, I wasn't sure if they were given a drive around in the M5 or drove it themselves...if driven by professionals I think a drive in an e39 m5 would amaze me as well!

The new M5 will be a heffer.
