I think I see where u r coming from.. On a lower price point I had to choose a 330i or GT/CS and the used 330 was half the price. I think alot of the advice posted is good and it's not an easy decision. I chose my GT over a sport prem cwp 330 because i want the gt/cs. How about an M3 sedan?

I understand, but I was thinking of a comparison of the two you posted...
So it's different if the 09 you're looking at is $60k+, then I wouldn't go M5. You can get a fully optioned GT500 brand new for that amount. Or a Grand Sport Corvette...
But the 08 M5 you posted looks quite nice, so maybe go for it instead?

I'd go with the GT500. Consider the M5 the better all-around performance car, but can't help but think of costs for parts and servicing. GT500 probably easier and less costly to modify as well should the need arise.

Quite true, I can do nearly all the work myself on a Stang, wouldn't consider most of the things on the M5.

If you put it that way and don't intend to keep the car beyond that, the only way to decide is a test drive comparo and see which one best suits your needs and intended usage.

I did test drive them both and i have both sitting at the dealership waiting for me to sign. For me with 2 kids that are 5 and 6 i think the ///M is the better choice. There are probably around 20 gt500's here and a million GT's so im kinda bored of them. i will post picks of what i get tomorrow. thanks for the inputs.
Side note- For being a musang club, the ///M got alot of love.

You have the M3 still?
The M5 is pretty but the size turns me off.
An 05 ZHP sedan and a slightly higher mileage GT500 could be fun.

i would get a new GT500 for that kind of coin, but it seems you are set on the M5 so you should just go w/ that. these are two really different cars so in the end get the one you want.

Why not find a G8? That will solve all of your problems. The M5 is ugly. And yeah, I meant to say UGLY. If I were needing a 4 door, a G8 would have to be it for me.
