Its hard to see why the M5 would win against Ferraris and such as well....

Perhaps it is a great car and the engine is awesome, but its not the best performance car. There are many cars that out perform the M5 on that list. I guess there are lots of M5 fans here.... which is okay.

Personally, i felt the Z06 was the best all around performance car, i guess many felt the same about the M5.

My choice and why.

- M5, probably the most hyped car 2005.
- When the M5 came carmags compared it to F430 and several other true sportcars.
- M5 is practical, comfortable and 4 (even 5) persons can travel at the same time.
- Its a 4-door-car
- It has an attractive price.
- First family car with V10
- Three different suspensions settings
- SMG, first familycar with 7-gears
- Its capable of racing with true sportcars
- Topspeed 328km/h
- Handling is so good that Porsche owners will have a surprise
- More engine awards than any other car 2005
- Many other awards 2005 (for instance performance car of the year.)
- M5 E39 was a great car but BMW managed to make M5 to be even greater car

I dont care if people dont agree with me but my question was "Performance Car of the year 2005 - your choice?" I didnt say this thread was only about acceleration and handling. I stated my reasons above, there is no wrong or right just my thoughts and explanation why I voted for M5.

more than half of those reasons stated by you doesent have anything to do with performance..
But anyways your choice.. and obviously your not alone..haha

I created this thread and I never said this thread was only about vote for best handling car or fastest acceleration car.

lol thats so true Apparently there are different ways to decide performance car

The Artist

yeah ppl make up own interpetations of everything.. look at MB with calling the CLS a coupe.. ppl should not be so angry about it.. maybe its a coupe in their eyes.. like the M5 is a performance car in your eyes

I voted for the F430 because its the best crumpet catcher on the list

i voted for the m5 because it is a great all around car/ amazing performer. But just to get this straight this would not be the car i would get if i wanted a high performance sports car(which i think should be a two door car) so i would have to go with the porsche or the zonda even though its not the pretties to the eyes
