Step Aside Cadillac....BMW is taking your trophy

[Elbow]

I'd still MUCH rather have the Cadillac.

Subjective argument but i'll play ball

It never de-throwned it to begin with if you ask me....
I'm a fan of more impressive engineering and the BMW impresses me much more
-10 throttle bodies
-8300RPM
-204mph de-limited
-V10
-7 gear sequential transmission
-The MOST communicative chassis of any big sedan
This is automtive SEX that will never see again with the current government regulations. CARS LIKE THIS, pure all motor interal combustion gods are disappearing and this is a prime example of one of the best examples of its time. Exotic soul, wrapped in 4 door German quality.

You can argue for the Cadillacs and cry about the Nurb times, or you can find out like I did and see for yourself.
Pro drivers in both cars, the Cadillac's superior corner exiting speed (torque) will get it away from the M5 on some tracks but only by about .4-.8 seconds per lap. Keep in mind it has magnetic suspension, and more torque (yes it's faster coming out of turn). But personally, if you know driving, trail braking inn at an insane rate of speed is much more fun then coming out fast, this is where the M5 shines, despite an old chassis that was eveloped in 2002-2004 that still shines against newer, less communicative, more powerful cars.

Worth the $20,00 extra? I.M.O Absolutely, i'm not happy with just a "number"


Nothing will compete with the F10 for a significantly long time except Porsche. GM's probably won't let their performance department go after something that crazy

please do elaborate.

I'd turn neither down, but i like bmw's and from what i've seen come from the n54 motor in the new 335/135 i have a feeling this new motor is going to be able to keep up with the zr1 motors development.
