Anyone own a BMW M5?

Whats it like, is it a fun drive? I have been driving my 1998 Toyota corolla since I bought it, I plan on buying the M5 in a few months.

I wonder what trade in value I can get for the old 98 corolla and how does the M5 compare in terms of acceleration and maneuvering. Is it pretty easy
 
The M5 is a little slower than the Corolla but will corner slightly better. If your Corolla is lowered and has a spoiler on the trunk, it's no contest - the M5 doesn't stand a chance.

What about the sidepipes? Don't forget the sidepipes!

I finished paying my 15 year house loan 2 years ago and been driving the same car since 98.

I figure I finance it in 3 years, 0.9% Financing. I want to get the SMG transmission (no clutch)

The M button sounds fun though. I would like something nice to enjoy.

how about a M3? the new ones look so nice, and handle great if you don't mind the manual stick shift...they are pure fun to drive!
plus the improved interior is simply beautiful :)
I never drove a M5, so I can't compare, but besides the size I wouldn't think they are very different?

SMG rocks. The "M" button is really the Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde button. Non M is docile and lumbers along like an older 7 series - perfect for driving around the wife and in-laws. M turns into a gas sucking (really) super car monster. You're heart will be pounding if you drive it like it was meant to be driven. Go ahead - treat yourself. Keep in mind the cost of ownership is on the high side.

Not kidding. That Corolla is no joke. With a cold air intake and electric supercharger, it is scary fast - if you're not careful, you could end up going the speed limit.
