Ah - I'm actually looking for a new car at the mo - can't decide that either.

Too much choice I reckon.

I've been debating the idea of getting a van or similar for a while, but these big 4x4 jobbies (with flatbeds) that I could use to take the bike in are of interest. Some of them are huuuuge!!!

I can't justify having too many vehicles aorund the place (bikes-yes, cars-no), so am looking for a performance vehicle that can tow a trailer, or hold a bike.

Most sports cars can't take a towbar (exhaust box issues) - although you can get these removeable jobbies on some cars that are OK.

I'm presently looking at a 5 litre V8 400bhp (you might be able to guess) vehicle that if I can get a towbar sorted, might be sitting happily on my drive soon.

I am looking at both of these - there's something understated about the RS6 that I like, the M5 is my present favourite though. You can get a towbar for these and it might meet all requirements.

How was the 540i ?

Absolutely awesome..... It was an older one but it was lovely... I was on first name terms with all the staff at my local Sainsburys fuel station though
