Considering I do most of my posting on this forum I thought I'd ask why you get such a poor reaction on some of the others?

I'm thinking about buying an M5 and went to see one yesterday. I got back and thought I'd do a 'can anyone give me any advice' post. So far I've had a big fat zero responses. If that was someone posting on here I bet they'd have had a dozen replys by now.

Sorry rant over

TVR still the most popular marque on here so replies tend to be more instant.

You've had some replies now though.

how many people are gonna stand and stare at an m5
how many people are gonna take photos on there mobiles as you drive past in an m5
how many people are gonna screem rev it mister when your sittin at the lights
the truth is, when you drive past in your m5, no one will notice
perhaps no bothered to reply to your m5 forum because no one is interested

Great car, but then I'm a bit biased. I have to say though that the BMW forum here is dire.

You won't get the same response to technical issues as you do on the Cerb forum. Its full of people who talk about the best wax to use and whinge about dealers rather than actually upkeep their cars in any meaningful way.

You'd be better off posting a question about the M5 here, you'd probably get more sensible answers

The problem with BMWs is that you have to start shopping for clothes at Next.

no worries Ton70. Looks like an M5 may be off the cards as she likes the look of the VW Toureg which isn't bad personally I fancy the new Jeep Grand Cheeroke / or an X5 if we have to go down that route. That 5.7 Hemi looks like it could be a bit nippy for a Jeep
