I have not heard many people have good luck with stock caddy's. I think if you got one and added mods, you would be asking for trouble. What are you looking for? m5, classy, power, and very VERY well put together. Caddy's are nice, and if your lucky, can put down some serious power for cheap.

Honestly I wanted to vote but I can't. I love both cars equally, and as far as performace goes (stock) their evenly matched. I think Eric is right about the tunning aspect of both cars which is a huge factor, unless your just raking in funds like that. Oh yeah as far as the motor goes its a LS6 not an LS1. And one more thing Callaway is cool, but I'd go with a stage 2 Lingenfelter turbo kit if its availible. Good Luck!

The worst place to ask "BMW vs. car" in, this place will always side with a BMW.

Honestly, I'd take the BMW over any production caddy. I personally do not like the styling of that car. My opinion, take the BMW (and this is from a muscle car guy).

This will do until I find a BMW to take over my spot in the garage.

The M5 to me is the better car, I would certainly go for it.
