This one: 10 Reasons The E60 535i Is Better Than The M5
I've received notifications on this article for months now. People have contacted me telling me they've bought one or contacted me and asked about the various packages, etc. And there's been a few naysayers as well but pretty much everyone knew what I was trying to say. While it's technically not the better car; it's the better car for most people.
That is until last week when I posted a link to the story on someone else's article about a cheap M5 for sale. This caused one commenter to come completely unhinged. First it was clear he hadn't read my article, just the headline since he was responding as if I was comparing a stock 535 to an M5. Then he read the article and ignored everything except for the part where I said it was a great handling car. Having absolutely no concept of the differences between the standard and sport suspension cars he firsts compares the standard 535 to the M5 and then once I explain the difference to him he compares the new 535 (still on the standard suspension ) to the M5. So he compares a completely different car than the one I'm talking about to the M5. One that is several hundred pounds heavier than the E60 5 series and based on the 7 series. Fucking bravo.
My wife gave birth to our second last week so I've had a little time to relax and this has resulted in hilarity for me. At first I thought he was just not understanding me so I tried to play the logic game. Then I realized no matter what I said he'd just reply with the same shit. So once a day for the last week I pop in and there are his replies. I take a little time to reply, have a beer, laugh and then eagerly await the next day's response. The longer it goes the more upset, wrong and ridiculous he gets.
I pretty much just gave up the back and forth because it was just going in circles but for awhile there were LOLZ to be had. He even found my posts here so I drove him to some degree of anger that resulted in him doing a bit of internet sleuthing on me. Anyhow, here you go. I hope I've provided some entertainment. Then again this might only be entertaining to me and you guys might think I'm just as stupid as I think he is. Internets, amirite?
