Yes, interesting article. I can almost forgive them for the (&(*% need to click 27 times to read it...
Quoting the article:
"E60 M5: a hit, with severe caveats
...
<snip>
...
But really, that was just an irritating amuse bouche that preceded the excrement-sandwich main course: how often the E60 broke."
And when it broke, it was so painfully expensive to fix...
If you've never looked at my garage in my profile, have a look at my E60. I swear I haven't edited it since the day I registered.
I can thank my E60 ownership for many thrills, and many headaches. Most importantly I can thank my E60 ownership for leading me to the 1M. I literally bought it as the antithesis of the E60. Literally.
How the 1M differs:
- relatively reliable for a high performance car
- built on commodity and common (aka M3) parts, so not overly expensive to fix
- doesn't depreciate
Without owning an E60 I would never have joined the 1M club. Thanks E60.
End catharsis...
