M5 for the weekend:-)

I think the e39 M5 is the best balance of performance/comfort without the astronomical running costs. I had one and loved it but sold it to help pay for the CSL.
Ideal garage would be to have them both:smt055

:thumbs: Agreed :smokin:

I had some time with a new M5 a couple of weeks ago. I just thought it was underwhelming.

The problem it has is its M character only comes out when you drive it like a nutter, and it's so big and fast that you hardly ever get the chance. When you drive it around normally its too quiet, too soft, feels big and clumsy and boring. With the old M5, and obviously the CSL, you get constant M character from the car just by plodding about, you know it's special, you don't to need to go full phsyco. For 95% of the time you may as well have a diesel.

But that's the point and why it so appeals to me. I can be drivin' Miss Daisy one minute, flying below the radar and rippin' the next. There is no other car out there that covers all bases so well. When your on it no other car of this size shrinks around you, feels smaller than it is and handles like it.

I also think it feels totally bespoke compared to the rest of the F10 range. My Dad's new 535d is amazing for the car it is but feels nothing like the M5. There's M magic in there.:smokin:

The new M5 is so good.....I will have no idea that I am doing licence losing speeds everyday.
