00R Builds An All-New 2013 BMW M5, Now You Can Too - How Would YOU Option It?

Our friends at BMW recently launched the all-new car configurator for the 2013 BMW M5.

If you've been keeping up-to-date with the M5's recent press coverage, it has been overwhelmingly positive. Almost every review it has been featured in boasts about the vehicle's capability to really be two autos in one.

A raging beast at the touch of a couple of buttons and a full-on, sedate luxury sedan with some adjustments.

But enough of what the critics have to say about it. Now it's your turn.

Kicking that off is the BMW configurator, the first interactive way to spec out an M5 and see how swatches look on a computer screen.

That said, I spent several minutes tooling around with the all-new M5 and I have come to exact spec I would order if I were to splunk down nearly six figures for a new M5.

Now, how would YOU specify your M5?

Here's what I picked:

- Singapore Gray
- Sakhir Orange/Black Merino leather
- Piano Black trim
- 20'' light alloy wheels, style 343M
- Manual 'box
- Bang & Olufsen sound system
- 1 yr Satellite Radio subscription

yes...it's so old that the M5 configurator isn't even on the US site yet. and let's not forget who the biggest advertiser on this "bmw site" is: toylex.

How is the price absurd? It's less than an E63 and less than the Panamera Turbo S, Panamera Turbo, and even the Panamera S (in fact it's less than I've seen some Panamera V6's for). It'll likely also be in the same range as the RS6 if and when Audi ever builds one. So... how is it absurd exactly? Or are you just saying the idea of a $100k car is absurd on principle?
