milba has a little shameless behaviour in the past
are you guys serious/

i would so go the ferrari if i had the money...
it has the looks, the prestige and 400kg lighter, not to mention that it does not have a speed limiter ( id rip it through the simpson desert and see if it could reach that 196mph claimed top speed though i would probably do an option 350z and flip and nearly kill myself rofl

tho id much rather prefer the 430/m5

F430, the idea of a high revving V8 really does it for me, have you ever heard the exhaust notes on one of those things? Beautiful. Try to imagine what a V8 sounds like at 8500rpm, its just sick.

I'm not going to bash the M5, its a beautiful car, but its a 4 door sports sedan, its refined, the Ferrari is raw, its what Ferrari does best. Theres a reason it costs twice as much

I'd have to go for the M5. Hell, you could get 2 M5s instead of one F430.

1 white M5
1 black M5

I guess the guy didn't ask which would you buy, he probably meant if god let you choose for free which one would you take.

In this case everyone will say Ferrari for sure.

Ferrari cuz it's a coupe and I hate sedans. Also that engine note a 8k+ sounds amazing. Everyone has a BMW not many have a Ferrari. It takes girls panties off in under 3 sec. the BMW cant do that...

M5 all the way.

You would definitely turn more heads with the Ferrari though. Only the true car guru would notice an M5 from a 540i.

lol i was thinking the same thing. I know i wouldn't be able to tell the difference between all those high end beamers and for that purpose i would go with the ferrari just to stand out.

But realistically, i have a familly and would buy the m5 and since i could afford it and i could also afford the mod to get rid of that speed limiter and need i say more......smoke the ferrari.
