I looked at/drove a bunch of stuff.
Almost rans:
2002 M5 The trans had a "catch" when going into 3rd. The wife didn't want a stick anyway. Had Dinan exhaust so it's probably seen some hard use.
2002 540i It was an auto but the nav screen was really small. It also had a tape deck which the wife thought made it look "80's" It didn't feel that "quick" may have been because it's quiet.
2004 CTS-v Wife didn't like the stick. It seemed like the fastest of the bunch but the exhaust was a little louder than the rest. Plus it was white...
I drove some other stuff over a few days and about 1000 miles but I wanted built in Nav. RWD/AWD and V8.
Anyway, the caddy has a v8 with the AWD and sport suspension. It's an auto but it has a 2nd gate on the shifter that allows you to ratchet through the gears. Kinda gimmicky and I'll probably never use it...
I was impressed with the acceleration. It feels like an old school V8 4bbl downshifting. Sounds like one too...
