You gotta admit he is pretty stupid sometimes and makes a meal of everything. How can you have a preset car thats suits everybody.
But that engine, sound...............and only 10k more expensive than an M3 vert[hmm
yep, just saw the prog... e60 really struts its stuff nicely! time wasn't great though.. thought it'd be faster.. but still very respectiful... maybe with more time reading the owners manual, they could have tweeked the settings alittle more for track usage.. but heck nearly 2tons,4drs still wicked [ok

Clarkson - 5 mins on how bad it is to program, & 1 minute on how good it is?? - in M mode with 508 bhp
This, is the guy who could'nt sort out the tracker on his GT40 & had to give it back so Ford could sell it @ an even bigger profit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But did'nt the M5 sound so good :D :D :D
Stig's lap was awesome [banana [jam [banana [jam

Clarkson - 5 mins on how bad it is to program, & 1 minute on how good it is?? Yes, this is the dickhead who drones on about how much he knows about cars, yet can't see past the anti-BMW chip he has on his shoulder... I don't think he's ever had a decent word to say about them - they win award after award and he won't even include them in comparison features like the coupe shootout last week (TT v 350Z v .......Crossfire???? Oh yeah, it'll have to do otherwise we'll have to include a BM). He can't even make a Ford work, I think he shuld leave the Beemers alone until he's learned to be a little more honest about them.
Can't ever hear that M5 exhaust note enough, just makes my skin tingle. Was a good show tonight.

I think its capable of quicker times, just not as easy to get right first time in a car with rwd and over 500bhp.

I think the point is that for that much money the dealer should ask you how you want it setup and have it done when you pick up the car.
I always wonder why they don't make the M5 a 3 door, that would make it a bit special...
Wasn't the indicator thing stupid, was that a fault or are they all like that?

Ann odd review, I see what hemeans about it being very complicated but he just needs to read the manual before driving it....

Ugh, the 6 series is the most ugly thing around. I quite like the new 5's, actually the estate looks best, maybe an MMMMM version of that would be nice, in the style of the RS6 etc.
