I really like the V8 M5 (2001-2006 model), I was admiring one at the Nct center when I was getting my golf tested, I was walking around the car admiring it from all angles
except the brakes which are always a let down on BMWs (I have a thing for brakes) any way I was closely inspecting the nice detail of the rear wheels (wider than the front

) and I didn't notice the owner aproach from behind, She's was a 30 something yr old cracker (not shockingly good looking, but classyness made up for that)
Obviously she asked "What are you looking at??" I was like

"Eh your wheels" she says "yeah, I like those too"
She said that the only thing she doesn't like is the 1400 road tax, but she loves the power and sound of it, I asked her to give it a bit of stick when she was leaving and she did, I thought she was never going to change gear, I don't know what revs she finally did, but very very high, What a fantastic sound

An M3's straight 6 or the new M3's tinny sounding V8 can't match that!
I will have a car with that M5 V8 some day! (with a couple of turbos of course)
