I put 1000.00 to be on the waiting list back in 2004. A year later the dealership in Temple TX could not confirm delivery dates. Thats when I told them give me back my deposit. Its a nice car, V10, 8250 rpm redline, 7 speed SMG tranny, F1 inspired.

The M5 runs 12s in the quarter with the 500 horsepower setting, or 13s with the 400 horsepower setting.

Yesterday I saw the review of this car on the Autotrader show. They said 4.5 to 60, mid 12 second quarter mile, and $80,000.

Nice but not my 4 door style
