Thoughts on BMW E39 540i/6 Vs. M5

[alimehrozi]

I wanted to buy a 540i but as soon as I saw your shark tooth necklace... I think I'll just buy a benz instead..

Summary of this video.
M5 is 25% more than 540 in his opinion and he's not trying to make his 540 into an M5 by adding M5 bumpers and etc.
Don't waste your time watching this.

u sound insane... "540i is good but by no means a m5" "im not trying to make this an m5" "if you feel im trying to make this an m5 im sorry" "i want to throw m5 stuff on my 540i but I am not and repeat am not trying to make it into an m5" " sure I want an m5 but I am not making my car into that" "did I mention I love my 25% less 540i and dont want to make it into the 25% more m5" "when I say my car is good enough im not trying to make myself feel better about not owning an m5". TRUE INSANITY! this guy is nuts

[karenburgo]

It 35% more not 25%. 400hp is 33 percent more than 300hp.

It really is as simple as the M5 bumpers look that much better. All E39s look fantastic and the M5 is just that more aggressive and good looking.

[blazejon]

Ummmm yeah it sounds like you regret not buying an M5.

[ivan]

I know he made it pretty clear he wasn't trying to make it into an m5 and told people to not try to make theirs into an m5 but he basically plans on adding m5 parts all the time on his own 540i... Where is the logic?

[TheProPilot]

Selling my 900rwhp Supra for an M5. Says a lot about the M5.

[seansweet]

Drink every time he says 540 and M5 in the same sentence. You will be drunk in less than 10 minutes. 540i6 is a great car! Could really use a limited slip diff though...

[jfn]

On a scale of 9-10, how mad is this guy that his 540i isn't an M5?

[blackXSpr]

Technically, wouldnt the M5 have 40% more power than the 286hp 540?

286 x .4 = 114.4 + 286 = 400.4

I would just add that no matter what you prefer, it's an E39. This car just refuses to get old.

[lewis]

If a 540i is 25% less than an M5, then an M5 is 33.33% more, not 25% more.

[hukiroo]

Dude....I'm not really picking up what you're trying to say.  So...you're saying that the M5 is 25% more than the 540?  Ha ha!  Just kidding.  Sweet car.

Pretty awesome how you can sound insecure and condescending at the same time. Basically, you just made a 14 minute video defending yourself against critics that honestly shouldn't matter, but in doing so you confirmed without a doubt that, to you, their silly criticism do matter. I currently drive a Porsche 928, but I am actively shopping for a E39, prob an M5. I can't tell you the crap I hear from other Porsche owners about me buying a BMW. They can kiss my ass. People are always going to have their opinions. You gotta do what makes you happy. Now, with that in mind, continue your quest to create an M5 clone from your 540. LMAO! It's you goal, have the balls to own it.

[wagtom]

Am I the only one who thinks that a 540i is not a straight6?

[DigitalSubset]

i like the 540i better than the m5. you feel better modding your car and not keeping he miles down.

[thormcgee]

M5 bumpers on a 540 is a mistake imo. I can respect an original 540, but altering it to resemble something it's not cheapens it for me.

[marcwoodward]

What he said is true, there is widespread debate on the forums comparing the E39 540 to the e39 M5. All he's saying is that the 540 is not the M5! WTF is so hard to understand about that? As a BMW enthusiast I respect every owners right to modify their cars to their liking. I may not agree with their choices but I respect them. If he wants to install M5 parts on his ride than more power to him!! value your opinion & appreciate your video...
Thanx Bro..Happy Motoring!!

how many times are you going to repeat the 25% difference between the cars and say the most obvious retarded shit like "just because it can go quickly doesn't mean it should go quickly all the time". How can items like interior even be measured in a percentage that? "It's not because I want this car to be an M5, it's because I appreciate the quality" yeah ok buddy, if someone offered you an M5 over a 540i you'd be on that like nobody's business... This video is clearly about making yourself feel good by justifying having a lesser car, next time try making a useful objective review
