What is the Best? EHehehhe

f430 alll the way. i hate the m5.

f430 alll the way. i hate the m5.

defently !!!! the m5 looks horrible like its had lypo suction, it looks stretched like wen someone pulls a face or something, where as the f430's smooth lines and shape are just practically perfect in my opinion, so for me its the ferrari

nice cars... :)

lol...love both...if i had the money, i've bought an real M5...just love it...but the F430...its the best "cavallino rapante" ever!...dificult choice!

Awesome pics!!! Come on how can you guys hate the M5?!? It looks great and it's a V10 Sedan!!! (How many sedans are V10 and look as good?)

well i hate bmws to begin with. mainly because every time we bring in our car for service they always try to rip us off and we always have to go back to get our price readjusted and all of the new cars are really ugly and it all started w/ the 7. all fo the lights on the new cars are all wierd shaped. the headlights on the stupid 5 series looks like some one is pulling their eyes back and the butt of the car is so tall. they only thing good about the car i would admit is the engine. and yes well maybe no other sedans out there have a v10 but there are good comaprasins. such as the e55 w/ a supercharged v-8 that puts out 469hp or the cls55 w/ the same engine and hp. or the almost extinct s55 v8 w/ 493 hp or s600 that is a v-12 and has 493 hp and 590 torque. and the new s63 is coming out and is gonna have 503 or 510 hp and is only a v8. btw the e,s, and cls class in my opinion look better. btw i'm not pissed just sharing my point.

Wow so you're talking about real life situation here nosliw...Well I don't own a MB or BMW so I don't how their services are like but I'm only talking about their cars. yeah I agree the 7 series are a bit ugly (especially 745i) but I think the new 3 and 5 series look great!!! And yes all of the cars you mentioned have about as much hp as M5 but I still think M5 looks better than those cars....I mean don't you think it looks more aggresive than all of them??? But then again I'm not nearly as big a MB fan as you are and I'm a big BMW fan so I'm a little biased... :biggrin:

Could anybody tell me what car manufacturer is getting loads of awards for engine construction??


oh did i hear You lad?

Yes You over there? Wait a second ill come over with the mic.

-Do You know the anwser?
-Hell yeah!
-And
-BMW for engines like the 3liter turbo/compresor diesel and a pearl like the V10 5.0l engine introdouced in the M5.
-thanks for help, I have no further questions.

nosliw2004 Your probably swearing at the BMW mechanics cause they are ripping off. They'll always rip You off. Bmw gotta get cash simple. Every dealer rips off for car repairs after your guarantee passes even before. But did You consider not going to the dealers mechanics.
My point is Do You have any idea of the costs you'll have to cover in maintaining a ferrari ? ? ?
I will tell You. I saw it on a polish ferrari fanclub site. Changing the timing belt and some other crap cost like 12000 Euro twelve thousand euro yes. And You dare say that BMW are rippin off. Think again...

M5 power...LOL! =)

it's not the same because when you buy a ferrari you expect high maintenance costs. but a bmw is just a bmw not a ferrari. it's like comaring apples and oranges. not the same.
and btw i don't want to start a heated argument. this is just my opinion.

Nosliw I think Amnes brought up the high maintaining cost of Ferraris in response to you saying that you don't like the BMW because the maintaining cost of a BMW is high and the dealer is trying to rip you off.

By the way, you wouldn't expect low maintaining cost for a mercedes benz, would you?

i think you guys arn't quite seeing my point. they rip us off everytime and that in my opinion gives them a bad name. and no i don't expect low maitenance cost on a benz but they don't rip us off. btw a brake job on the slr cost $50000 yes that's 4 0s. lol

Ok I see your point now. But I'm sure there are some MB dealers out there who try to rip people off as well, just that you don't happen to see one.....

well good thing we don't go to one of those!

M5 all teh way baby. BMW M-Power, nothing like it. Ferrari is nice. Well, both models are really nice but when I compare in real life, theyre two completely different cars. Plus, the Ferrari, it's Italian. You turn the ignition and the engine will catch fire.

lol....that's funny

But yeah, I also like M5 better! Now if we are talking about Enzo.......hehehe, well, nothing beats that! (except maybe Carrera GT, and SLR are probably comparable.......

the enzo doen'nt have features like climate control and radio right? if that's the case then i don't think you can compare those other two cars to it because they would be more "luxury" don't you agree?
nice to see you post here thatroundheadedkid!

hehe, thanks nosliw, and he is right about the Enzo and Carerra GT and SLR not exactly being comparable. THe Enzo and Carerra GTs are more super cars, the SLR is a touring car.

Well, when I say ther're comparable I don't mean anything else but they all run REALLY fast, with Enzo being the fastest (I think it is, or is it?)

And Nosliw, I know how much you like SLR (saw your CMC pics...lol) but you can't deny that Enzo is more sought after than the other two I mentioned right?

of course the enzo is more sought after. it's twice as much! still no climate control. lol.

still no climate control. lol.

hehehe..... actually I don't think it makes a difference when you drive 200 mph.

^good point.

M5 is so much nicer than the Ferrari

Hands down.

indeed..M5 powwa! =)

God, tht thing is jsut hot to look at.
