Not a particularly interesting review. The sound from the v10 is great though
But seriously the interior door panel design is awkward on the e60

Always loved this car, looking to get into one as soon as I can! Hopefully the video won't drive the price of them up

They only produced around 5,000 of them total in their lifespan for the US. Of those around 1,000 were manual if I'm correct. Finding them should be a little more difficult.

I've owned a silverstone e60 M5. Manual. Loved it. The transmission felt the same as my e92 M3 did. It felt little underpowered VS an SMG m5 I drove but the manual just felt better.

I went from a 2010 M5 (Chrome wrapped and meisterschaft exhaust) to a 2013 S6 and now the 340i. I still miss the highway pulls from 80mph. The acceleration on the top of the Power band was amazing. But im in colorado and here my 340i would walk it from a stop light. If you live in a high altitude region a turbo is far superior to naturally aspirated when we are talking performance. What i would love to see would be BMW compete with the R8, lambo and NSX by putting the S85 in the I8 as a hybrid. Imagine a updated version of the S85 and an electric engine good for a combined 750HP and 650lbs tq paired to a dual clutch tranny. One can dream....
