I'm sorry if you missed the thrust of my original post. I know that I can certainly "swing" the M5, but I don't want to feel like my car owns me. (I know that feeling from just a few years ago when my income was considerably smaller!) I just kind of wanted to get an idea as to the ballpark I needed to be in before I started seriously considering cars of this caliper. I certainly do not want to offfend anyone. Lucifer-El Diablo, I was just kidding! At $450,000. I'm sure he can afford whatever he wants. GEEZZZZ lighten up a little bit. OK?
