Looks like MB is getting serious with some 500hp M5 competitors.

Heh, I can only dream of M5's and MB's...outta my pocket book range.

That's an AMG, I'll put some cash on the fact that Dinan would tear it new as........!

Hell, I've heard just putting a Dinan badge on your auto will give it 10-20 hp increase

I did go with the chip (My cost, $200) since I didn't like to be throttle-limited by my own Gov't! No badge though

Take this news and the fact that the next BMW 5 series will feature most of the "unique" styling elements of the new 7 series,  and I think we can say BMW is in deep toejam. Too bad, I always used to like BMW more than MB. Farewell BMW!

BMW:   New syle direction....

MB: New style direction....

Well, Grun, I might agree with Bangle as the chief designer at BMW, have you seen the Butt-ugly 7-series lately

Note that MB is styling close to what the current 3-series has looked like for the last 3 years

The standard has been: BMW sets it, MB, Audi, follow.  In the future, that could change...the market will tell.

[GRUNHERZ]

Yep I have been following the new 7 series disaster for the past year.  I think that Chris Bangle is a madman and should be fired.

Ripsnort have you seen the Chris Bangle goes into a bar joke?

Yeah, seen it hehehe, I hang out at Roadfly quite often.  You'll usually find me slumming in the E46  "Lounge".

My favorite beamer is still the M8. Its fast, sexy, comfortable, got everything I want.  The M8 is still the best.

Id get a stick if I had one. No automatic stuff for me.

Don't forget this one, making BIG waves here in the land of "brother" Benz and Bimmer.

The chrome trim around the glass looks tacky and ruins the flow of the beltline because it stops at the C pillar.  Otherwise its a really nice uber Passat.....
