Ignore this pathetic farm migrant. (archive)

i JUST GOT MY SILVER M5 AND IT SOUNDS TERRIFIC. BUT THE RIDE IS SO DAMN HARSH, NO PLUSH FEELING OF MY BIG BODY (1999) S CLASS OR MY 2001 740. I WISH THEY PUT LOUVERS ON THE SIDE LIKE ALL THE OTHER M CARS. AN M5 SHOULD BE A COUPE NOT A SEDAN, IT REALLY REQUIRES A HIGH AMOUNT OF CONCENTRATION TO DRIVE. I'M ALWAYS THINKING THAT MY REAR TIRES COULD LOSE TRACTION AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL. THE RECIRCULATING STEERING BELONGS ON A LUX CAR NOT A CAR LIKE THIS. M5 SHOULD HAVE A RACK AND PINION. THE STEERING FEELS LIKE MERCEDES, PERHAPS THEY ARE SHARING PARTS. (LOL) ITS REALLY NOT A HEAD TURNER UNLESS I LET MY RIGHT FOOD WILD OR A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS ARE TRYING TO RACE WITH ME. A BETTER SPORTS SEDAN IS MY 740 OR E55. THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS HOW THE VALET GUYS FIGHT ABOUT WHO WILL DRIVE! THE M5 IS NOT THE PURE ENTHUSIAST CAR THAT I THOUGHT BECAUSE IT WEIGHS ABOUT 2 TONS AND ITS A SEDAN. THE STEERING FEELS TOO LIGHT FOR A SPORTS CAR. I CAN SPIN THE WHEEL WITH MY PINKY. THE POWER IS TOO MUCH TOO HANDLE WITH IN A CITY CAR. I LIVE IN CA AND THE 405 AND 101 AT ANY TIME OF DAY IS MURDER. THE M5 SHOULD LEARN FROM THEIR 7 SERIES AND COMPETITION. I DON'T REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF MY 7 BUT I BOUGHT IT WAY UNDER BB PRICE, SO I DON'T COMPLAIN. I HATE HOW IT HAS THOSE BAGGY-EYED HEADLIGHTS AND FROM THE DISTANCE IT LOOKS LIKE THE OLD 7 FOR SOME REASON. THE BIG BODY S, IN MY OPINION IS THE BEST CAR ON THE ROAD. THE NEW S-CLASSES ARE INFERIOR IN QUALIY BUT SUPERIOR IN TECHNOLOGY AND HANDLING. MY 99 S500 FEELS LIKE A BOAT WITH AFTERBURNERS BUT IT IS NOT YOUR NORMAL FISHING BOAT "CADILAAC" FEELING, IT IS THE FEELING OF BEING BEHIND A SUPER LUX YACHT LIKE AN AZIMUT OR FERRETTI.
