Also, M5 isn't just a 5 series. It's an "M" car (whole different engineering team within BMW). M cars are the epitome of masculinity. The M5 specifically is equipped with a 500 hp/383 tq V10 engine and after SMG was phased out, wasn't available with anything but a traditional stick shift (it's now available with the M DCT, which replaces the old SMG).
Even the interiors of the M cars, with their thick steering wheels (too thick for small hands and accompanied by heavy steering feel), M pedals & leather M shifter scream "this is a MAN'S car."
The highest end 5 - the 550i - is also a 'guy car.' So is the 335i - most women will generally opt for the 328, since they have no need for the additional 70 horses or any desire to modify their car for performance.

i don't understand how a v-10 equates to a "guy car." i have yet to try one out, but anything less than a v8 is sub par driving to me. most guys i know have no idea how to drive stick, and sadder still, don't even care to learn; so again, i don't see how manual = "guy." a thick steering wheel to indicate a masculine car? seriously? as for that heavy feel- a lot of people, men and women alike, much prefer it. and finally, if men have any more need for additional horsepower than women do, i'll eat my hijab. i wanna know your definition of need, because i know mine, and it aint got nothin to do with extra horses.
YOU LOSE, SIXPAK.
