> M5, schmem5. Give me a Lotus!!
Ya, I'd take one of those too. Do they still use them on the Autobahn? Last
I heard that was the traffic patrol's choice-car for there (the Super7 I
think)? Altho, I gotta say, as a family man and as my daily city driver, I'd
take an M5 over ANYTHING else out there. Power, luxury, beauty. Mmmm.

BMW==The Ultimate ******** Machine.
I can't imagine anyone who actually ever needed to drive reliably
using a Lotus of the Chapman vintage, particularly not the Super7,
although the chassis itself is quite good if you add a Mazda engine
and turn it into a Rotus.
