The DXB met its more powerful cousin today

dxb335d · 08-29-2007, 11:41 AM

Went into a local Stealers today pick up my new car

and outside was this ''Beast''

how many estates do you know that can carry a washin' machine, two labs and still out accelerate an Audi R8 to the ton:rocks:

BMW

,

they know how to make fast, well built and good looking cars

first m5 touring i have seen, i think it looks good.. not sure if the m6 esque wheels are stock or not?!

I'm really not keen on the 5-series generally and think your Coupe looks far better than the M5 Touring.

The M5 engine is phenomenal and when I see an M5 I know I'd love the power but the saloon looks average and the Touring looks awful to me. I just could never own one and be happy...I really like the interior and the engine but not the styling of the car at all...I'd have to get the M6 which is more my kinda car.

DervFan · 08-29-2007, 11:57 AM

I want one

More pics here

silverbmwz3 · 08-29-2007, 11:59 AM

M5 saloon, yes... think I'd prefer an M5 saloon to an M3 but Tourer??? That's just wrong. If you have a dog and a washing machine and can afford an M5 tourer get two cars... a volvo estate and an M5 saloon.

I even like the Alpina B5

They do, but don't put a decent petrol tank in.

An M5 used properly has a range of 180 miles.

When i was at Sytner Notts the other week, they had one in they had just bought one back. The fella lived in Scotland, 50 miles from the nearest fuel, he got fed up after a week.

Mmm... doesn't do anything for me...

I'll stick with camels for now

Hmmm its missing a bit of wood panelling on the side then it could be used as a prop in american films from the 80s (or whenever they had those horrible estate cars with wood panelling on the side!)

LOL - Yep those 80's 'go-faster' stripes are ridiculous looking.

Come on Alpina, its not a bloody station-wagon!!!!!!

silverbmwz3 · 08-30-2007, 06:39 AM

Station-wagon! That's the term I was looking for.

booforty · 08-30-2007, 07:07 AM

It may not be your cup of Tea, but it derserves repect anyhow, i am not a major fan of estates but the RS4 and M5 estates look good for our ''Load lugging'' counterparts

I am not really a fan of convertibles, but give

where its due, the new m3 'vert will be a good car

just give me the roofed version

Think we can blame Austin for some of the first uses of wood

But these American Station Wagons are truly

DervFan - admit it you want someone to photoshop the wood panneling onto your touring just out of interest

If anyone feels so inclined to do, then you can get a profile pic of my E91 from my garage

Otherwise I'll leave that for the stuff of nightmares

I agree. Anyone going for a 'team bus' for a car must secretly desire a bit of timber bodywork.

If I wanted a Team Bus, I would have gone for a People Carrier.

I don't know, it's bad enough being discriminated against for having a Diesel (on other car sites). Now I'm being chastised for having a Touring

I think you'll find others on here who have more woodwork in their dash

silverbmwz3 · 08-30-2007, 09:59 AM

Don't get me started on wood on dashes.... Carlos, cover your ears!
