Gator... how/why is an '08 M5 out of warranty?
I appreciate the line by line edits... so which Chevrolet product do you drive?
Yes, you can get the CTSV w/ a manual... had you copied all my post.. it was in reference to both... AMG's & Cadillacs (All AMG's are Auto's... and most cadillacs are)... his wife needs an auto... I understand... but a true slushbox? Vs. SMG? Really?
Why do you think the Caddy is $13K off sticker?
Why do you think he is getting money back on his M3?
In 3 years... the Caddy will have lost more than an E90 DCT car... there will be is 'artificial' savings... that he is so proud of.
And in those 3 years... everytime he shows up somewhere... people will say 'Cadillac, Really?... I bet it rides nice!' And he'll have to tell them all about the specs...
When he pulls up in a M car... they all no, and respect the brand, and what it's capable of. And they won't think he's 'old'. :P
Again... the OP may be 50... if so... you've got the perfect ride... and spend some money getting rid of the shiny plastic, and chrome trim on the interior. Op for the Recaro Seats... and enjoy a nice ride, that your wife can drive too.
