318Touring 40 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 I can think of several other car brands around that price range, second hand though :-( Maserati Quattroporte Porsche Panamera They are also classed as super cars with a more 'unusual' badge. I am in fact currently reading up about the Maser, just in case the temptation is too strong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 45 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 Buy F6, tweak it and laugh at everybody as they disappear in the rear view mirror. Better loose the panda eyes too... You'd be wanting an F6-E then. And i fully agree with your sentiments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better car than your euro sh*t mate. I heard from a mate whose cousin works in the ford factory in tazzie that the chassis of the falcon was COPIED by BMW for the new M5 mate. True story mate. Burrrp. Maaaaate!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F6 = HALF the price of your M3 with very comparable performance. And yet falcodore fans are the clowns? Ok bud. Excuse me going off topic, but self righteous bullshit isn't my cup of tea.

Excuse me going off topic, but self righteous bullshit isn't my cup of tea. No, this is a real conversation I had up north at a BBQ while a few guys stood around looking at my car. Oh, and let's add the other bit, they said that the engine must be from a Lexus because BMW can't make engines as good as ford so they must have bought in the alloy Lexus v8.... I'm serious. How are you feeling about those clown words now eh? Sorry if you took offense, but those aren't actually my words. Apology accepted admiral. Good times!

dedoo7 2 Report post Posted July 5, 2011 If the RS6 is out of budget how would the F10 M5 be affordable? Aren't they similarly priced? My vote ... Lexus IS-F (great bang for buck in my opinion) and way less thirsty than the V8 in the M3 (borderline ridiculous to be honest, but not as bad as the Merc C63, now that IS thirsty). I agree Tom , I've driven all the cars mentioned here apart from the Falcon have to agree the IS-F is a fantastic car & now with the locking diff ( the only difference made to the model since its arrival to the market) makes it a really good package & price point is hard to pass by un-noticed especially second hand models done under 5,000 km's for circa $100K or under. I seriously looked at one brand new back last year but as Kiwi535 pointed out ( good on you ! ) a stunning low km 2002 E39 M5 presented itself & I couldn't help myself. I also saved pots of $$$$$ & I haven't looked back. A well looked after M5E39 is the best reason not to buy a new car ( my opinion only )For the money nothing comes close to lovely old E39M5. I will be waiting with anticipation over the arrival of the F10 & to think in 3-5 years time an F10 M5 will be worth ......??? ... now that's food for thought!

Probably about as much of a brain as is required to assume that all Ford drivers may have anything at all in common with these guys? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
