I'm pretty sure he meant the 5-series to be the 550/575 versus the
512TR, as far as getting looks, not the Bimmers.

Still, it's always interesting to get Britt's perspective from the other
side of the pond...

Ferrari  seems to have
Americanized the ride on the 575 vs the 550 which handles  better You
will never get the looks with a 5 series  


I had a nice chat with some of the Ferrari tech guys recently and they
said  
the 575 suspension was DESIGNED for the USA market where the customers
like a  
softer suspension. It was TOO soft for the Europeans hence the
development of 
 the Fiarono (sp?) handling pack...thus you can get the 575 with the
softer  
suspension.
 
Same with the 5 series actually, the UK cars are not the same as the USA

cars with the softer plusher ride (the UK cars also have less equipment
and cost  
about twice as much with less warrenty!) however for whats on offer as  
competition and with the dealer network its a great road warrior car and
the  
torque of the diesel coupled with the mileage has this petrol head as a
diesel  
convert. I don't have it for the LOOKS Clyde, its an appliance, a tool,
the  
Ferrari is for the LOOKS!  :)
