Nice car but it doesn't have enough torque for me. But that's my opinion.

Not an upgrade from the X5....
 Let's see, SAV..Sedan....V8 or V10....auto or SMG....  Not a whole lot in common between the two vehicles. If you like the M5 go for it, just make sure you have pennies saved for another vehicle when road conditions are bad...as I'm sure you don't want a 500hp/rwd vehicle in snow or rain storms. Odd part with the M5 is it has HUGE horsepower and barely any torque for the number of cylinders in the engine compared to the 4.8 motor. I'd rather have a 650 then the M5 IMO. HP/TQ numbers: 4.8 X5 - 355/369 5.0 M5 - 500/383

Yeah i'll get yelled at for this but i think the current Mercedes E55 looks better in every way and from all the articles i have seen outperforms the M5 in almost every aspect with 2 less cylinders. My friend has a 05 E55 and that car is nothing less than beautiful, but i know they have an all new E series on the way so it will be interesting to see what AMG brings with that.

Lots if issues with it right now, if you really want one wait another year...
Issues like: - Transmission failure - Vanos With a V10 expect: - More Oil consumption - Very low MPG I'm sure it's a blast to drive just gotta be ready to maintain it.

however it's a completely diff. vehicle...a 4.8is would be an upgrade, an M5 a complete change of direction
