Cool DEBATING Keeping or Not!

Since I manage a leasing company.. Every other month I want another car. But held on to my baby for a little while.. Now I'm stuck in between keeping my car, which I just put rims on 3 weeks ago, or the 2014 M5!

AGH decisions decisions!

Keep it and wait for the RC-F or the GS-F, both should be here very soon.

Not sure if ur joking
Umm definitely get the M5 with Competition Pack!

For the ppl saying to wait makes no sense.
He is not buying it since he owns a leasing company. By the time the GS F comes out ur M5 lease will be done.

+2 on that.

The 2014 M5 is a fat overweight pig and not deserving of the M badge when it's just a SWB version of a 7 series. And it weighs as much as a 7 series. How much fun is there dancing around corners? All the power in the world can't help you when 1) you need to lose at least 500pounds and 2) your traction isn't enough to manage your torque.

You'd be better off with an RS7 or a E63 with AWD OR better yet, waiting for the Lexus RC-F/GS-F

if you're not happy with the car and can wiggle out of your lease early, then go for it. doesn't the boss over at wash express own an alpine white M5? i would stick with Lexus though, like SNiiP3R stated, GS-F RC-F is on the way. IMO i think they will be an oddity on the streets.

It should almost be a no brainer...if you can take on an M5 buy/lease comfortably, shoot... by all means!!

I think you would kick yourself for not at least trying an M5 over a one year period. Go for it. We will be racing you in our GS-F's and RC-F's.

I'd take the M5 in a heart beat over any Lex out (Besides LFA but that's a no brainer :P)

If it doesn't hurt and you aren't stuck in it for the long haul why not just get the M5. If you were to say buy it, it would be a different story. Nothing wrong with having yourself seated in a different car every once and awhile.
