Great value. Better than the M5 I think. Naturally Aspirated V8!

I've heard that the brake discs and pads are hideously espensive on the V8s when compared to the V8. No personal experience of this though.

The current one is.

I had a wee blat of Sytners E60 B5S a few months ago. Indescribably good - I don't know the figures, but it felt every bit as fast as an M5, but smoother, "calmer" and much more refined. Probably the best car I have driven - and there's been a few.

Well they are 530bhp and 530lbs of torque so probably quicker 90% of the time than the V10 M5. Any gear anytime would be my words!

I've driven that one too. Lovely car to drive - the blue's a little bit too much for me, but it is a special car beautifully maintained and looked after.

That's nothing mate, a friend works in a Porsche garage and they once had to price up discs and pads all round for a 997 Turbo S (carbon discs).......................... £15,000 for the parts! at trade rate!
