Have to agree, that shape is one of the best looking 5's - much prefer them to the later ones, like Omegas though, most have starship miles :(

Those beemer V8's are not too bad actually, more than enough power for the size, so does not have to work that hard. Bet its fuel use is not far off a 3.2 Omega  :)
