you know bmw m5 or not? u judge a car by its exterior only? lol

Correction, CHRYSLER 300C and Caddy XLR-V... IMO, the only American ride that deserves to be here is the Ford GT...

Very nice. I like the 300C. 6.1L Hemi...

You're right about the name, but not about the "deserves" thing haha.

This thread is "Supercars & Exotics" anyway. No offence and cheers.

Now, looks like the name has to be changed to Supercars OR Exotics.

Agreed! Exotics for sure...

BMW M5 is not a supercar? Are you trying to say it doesn't deserve a place in this thread?

very nice Aston, wish to spot it live

Taken by camera phone, sorry for bad picture quality.

I was looking for car park inside time square B1 parking then saw this beauty. First time seeing an Aston Martin, it looks bigger and fatter(I thought it was thin=P) than that in the photo. Wow !

WOW , V8 Vantage

brooo Bmw m5 or 5 series are way way too common. It shouldnt be in here, hence the title = Supercars & Exotics.

FTI, M5 does not equal to 5 series.

The M5, along with the other M3, M6 should be here, as the are performance oriented.

bmw M3 M5 M6 are not supercars
basically all of them are mass produced cars not made to order

Same goes for the Cayenne, tbh.
The same few M5/M6s keep on popping up here, too.

Well according to your theory, Satria Neo CPS or Satria GTi also would deserve a spot here right? High performance cars/sports cars and supercars are really quite different dude.... M-series cars are great but as mentioned, they're just mass-produced sportscars... Apart from the M1, BMW have never really attempted making a supercar but i would say that a Z8 could qualify to be here as it's rather exotic...

i am no agree with tis..does u guys seen the M5 n M6 often on the road??it is an exotic..In u guys mind,supercars and exotics only belong to lamborghini and ferrari those category??

hell yeah no matter how rare the M cars is still consider random cars...yes supercars is only 4 lambo and ferrari...want more???pagani bugatti mclaren porsche...go google them if you want more

they are not very common yes and they are by all means great performance cars no doubt about that but to qualify to be a supercar or exotic requires the car to cross a certain boundary... zondas, enzos, veyrons... they are all built from the ground up to be speed monsters with mind blowing dimensions that makes even the dumbest of people regarding cars go WOW. M-series cars are all based on the platforms of their existing vehicles and are basically mass produced sports cars and those who do not know much about cars are likely unable to differentiate them from the non-M counterparts... i'm not saying they're not great showcases of automotive engineering, i'm a fan of BMW myself but they're simply not supercar material...

Yet another F430.

what he said.

also, the proliferation of rebadged/rekitted non-M cars has diluted its wow factor. that anyone with a few grand can take a regular E60 and whip it into a M5 lookalike, and fool most people who don't know otherwise, or are unable to glimpse the telltale power buttons, big brakes or diff, makes M cars here a bit meh. I didn't use to think so, because I too am a fan, but with the M5 and M6 hitting their end of life stage, prices have dropped and there are more than a few of them running around. Not really that rare anymore, and not really that exotic, as the quoted text above puts so nicely.

The problem here, and it is a recurring issue, is that everyone's idea of what constitutes a supercar is relative. For someone who is familiar with the rarefied stratosphere of true supercars, sportcars hold no distinction. For those who are exposed to more ordinary vehicles, a sportscar would appear to be an exotic. For those who think Tokyo Drift is a far better movie than the Godfather, a tuned monster would take the cake. Perceptions don't change easily, so we're probably going to have the 'it doesn't belong here' thing keep coming up.
