Default Be aware that New M5's are starting to clog dealer's shops with issues....
Seen a few posts about bad oil lines, one owner picked up his car and in 200mi the limp mode went into effect then please shut off engine! Dealer was stumped had the car for 2wks, said all was fixed, car is back in shop for another issue.

Sounds familiar to us? But this is now a $93k car with problems. The RS4, V8 M3, and all upcoming super sedans will now come standard with all these problems for a price which will include headaches, stress, hypertension,lost income, and denied warranty.

Default I saw an Interlagos Blue M5 the other day and thought to myself...
"I can get over the looks of this thing for that kind of power" Doesn't surprise me a bit to hear that there are some teething problems though.

Default Many had around 70hp, and 130hp was a big power here in 1978.
The available biggest was 145hp for me. Porsche 911 was extremely fast then.

Yeap I've been reading the M5 board, but what an amazing machine.

I'd take 340hp with 400 wtq (from 2000-6000 rpm) thank you! Feelings of acceleration excite me.
