One of the auto mags did a comparison of the E55 AMG and the M5 and their guess was $82,000 since BMW's are usually lower than MB and the E55 AMG is $84,000+. $84,000 or $82,000, doesn't matter, I'm getting wood thinking about it.
What are you guys more excited about the NEW M5 or the M6?
I like them both, but if i had to choose one, id get the M6. Anyone heard anythign about the price of that? That M5 is prettttty damn sweet looking though!
Yes, I personally prefer the M5's looks from the M6... The M6 really doesn't look any different if you get it in black or solid grey/silver. The M5 has a better stance being a seden, and im not sure the m6 will be any lighter....
With that manual, and V10 it will probably be the best buy for that price range.
Close. If they do an exact conversion (instead of giving the US market a better deal) 60K GBP is about 105,393.57 USD. But to stay in direct competition with Mercedes E55AMG price range, they will have to knock off a bit over here i guess.
Like I said, the narrartor at the Las Vegas Auto show said 'around' $84K, but $105 is a bit wide to still be 'around' 84K.

To boot, you can't go only by the exchange rate. If you did, my car would cost $65K. When it is only about 37K GBP, configured in the UK. The actual US price was about $45K. My guess is that the M5 will be sub $100K, since the M6 is supposed to be around $100K. Also, as E60orBust wrote, they do have to compete with Mercedes. You'll be lucky if you can actually order one of these suckers to begin with!! Not to mention the ~$2000 a month you'll be paying after you somehow get one of these rare beauties. I'll be very jealous and in line for a ride!!!

Bear in mind that the £62k price includes sales tax, delivery, registration and road tax, so is not comparable to the $84k. The price most comparable with the $84k US base price is:
*bump*
anyone know if the M5 (When it reaches US market) will have the new nightvision option that is debuting on the new 7-series?
That would be sweet, who needs foglights then?
