I say Z06, even though the M5 is more luxurious and my get more women. The Z06 is more impressive when someone recognizes what it is.

Z06; think it will be more fun, although they're both nice cars.

Z06 easy...Much nicer car in my opinion (cooler to drive anyway i'd think).

Z06! I really am not a huge fan of the new 5 series style. They hired a new head designer and he started with the 7-series, the new 6...and then the 5...nahh! I dont care about the 500HP, just not my style. More of a Benz person, and I saw concepts for the new 3 too...not a fan either.

Anyway, regardless of my blabber, its really no question!

I don't think this site would give a fair opinion since we all seem to be gear heads. Z06 will rule here and I agree even as nice as the new BMW is. I think a matching yellow Z06 would go better in the garage.

Definately the Z06. Those Germans have been pissed at us for the World War II thing for a very long time. They have been getting back at us one BMW and Mercedes at a time. The Z06 is a world beater. :thumbsup:

How much butt do you need to haul? If more than 2, BMW, 2 or less, Z06. :)

The BMW is a cool car with great build quality and driving dynamics but you will *definately* feel the extra weight in the corners. I've driven a couple last-gen M5's and while very nice cars they're pretty hefty at 4025 lbs. The Z06 will be far, far more "tossable" with 1000lbs less to haul around.

The BMW is an amazing technological tour-de-force, however. Depending on your mindset it's either really cool or has a LOT of stuff to go wrong. ;)

For all the cool technology, the BMW has pretty bad fuel economy estimates (10 city, 21 hwy); I bet the Z06 will pull about 20 city / 30 hwy. For some reason it seems nearly all hot rod german cars have pretty mediocore fuel mileage. Not that mileage should be a determining factor when you're buying a car like this, but I've never understood why their mileage is so terrible given all the cutting-edge technology they employ.

As far as what I'd buy: Z06. I'm single and don't have to worry about hauling a family around!

I have only one friend that would go on a "floggem till they puke" ride. Therefore, only one additional seat required.

Z06 for me. I have got a small family now, 3 total. So I will just need to make two trips to take my wife, then son, to where we need to go. More driving for me! Well it sounds good.

I just cannot make up my mind. The new Z06 is a genuine supercar. And that's just too tempting--especially given it's "less than supercar" pricetag.
But BMW has applied some sophisticated technology to the new M5. So, it too should prove rewarding.

I suggest you sell your current sedan and buy one of each.
Problem solved. Glad I could be of assistance.
