I just need the £89,995 to buy it now  ;D

Really, really does not look like a £90k car!

Isn't this the point though. You didn't know you had an E39 or E60 M5 on your tail until you got a glimpse of the side view (fender & wheels) and you thought 'bugger, I picked on the wrong car'.  ;D ;D

There will always be those out there that hate bmw and what they typecast as a typical bmw driver but they are seriously good motors to drive if you have the money to buy one. Not to everyones taste I know but until you have one you don't notice all of the little things that add up. They are nice to drive so get over it.  ;D ;D  I won't bore you with details but Del knows what I mean.
Some of my German colleagues have new de-restricted M5's and they are quite quick.  ;)

PS.
Please don't send me hate mail as it upsets me.  ;D ;D

Alan, you speak 100% sense. Everything you said, I agree with :)

Half the price and a million times sexier (in my opinion  ;)), as long as you don't do corners  :D

Hired a dodge viper in Las Vegas a few years ago, I sooo want one. Was doing 100mph, floored it and the wheels started spinning, must say I sh*t myself, but loved it. :y

Indeed. Very well made cars, i have worked on a few, they are impressive generally. However, no mass produced road car is worth 90k. Ever!
Thing is generally the owners think they are, but do so without the first idea how the damn thing works beyond pressing pedals and turning the wheel...although most seem to struggle with those, never mind mirrors and indicators.

YZ250, on reading my comment again, it does sound as though I am being sarcastic. I am not, If my own BMW had two pedals instead of three I would probably prefer it over the Omega!!!!! :o :o
When my lovely Omega eventually goes into the scrap yard in the sky, I will replace it with an automatic 5 series, probably a 530 or 535D. They are fabulous cars :y :y

My apologies Zombie.  :y  I mis-took you for part of the OOF bmw firing squad.  ;D ;D  I can vouch that the big diesels are certainly an eye opener. Any critics should compare mid range figures of 335/535d to its 'M' equivalent. They are amazingly close. In a motor capable of 50mpg, to me that is quite an achievement.  :y
