You dont track or autocross your car competitively if you think Michelins are good tires.

Probably the same people that competitively track the 4,400lb GT-R.

What high horse? complaining that this car comes with Pirellis rather than the Michelins shows how little you guys know about tires.

Anyone who's serious about driving would get rid of the Michelins or stock Pirelis.

The f10 m5 was literally transformed with star spec MPSS over the Aston Martin spec PZeros. I’m not putting on r888r’s or nt01s or even sport cup 2s in Florida for daily driving. The extra weight of the m5 shreds rcomp tires, there’s zero point to that.

I wish they pushed out the fenders on the rear a little to make it more aggressive....

For daily driving both the Pzeros and MPSS are pretty close and they'll probably be within .10's of each other.

Anytime you put fresh new tires over worn tires of similar performance, you'd notice a difference.

The RE-71R's, AD08's, RS4's...are better tires even for daily driving with better grip than the NT01's

It doesn't look as aggressive as the E60 M5, you can easily mistake it for a 5 series.

Well yeah, I've said that before, new pirelli's arent terrible, the problem is WORN pirelli's are beyond awful whereas the michelins at least have some semblance of grip half way through their life.

I had Michelins that were heat cycled with plenty thread left, no different that your experience with the Pirellis.

Even a single compound tire like the RE-71R will see a significant drop in grip halfway worn especially on a heavy car.

that has always been the point of an M5. M3 is the car that looks a bit beefed up. M5 was always supposed to be understated.

I just received the VIN. Does that mean it'll complete production soon?

Also, is it true that the entire production stops for sometime (about 3 weeks is what I heard) during the holidays?

I still find it so bizarre that there is no information on the bmw website. I would love to use their live configurator and have actual information on the car.

A real downside for BMW imo, most other manufactures have a configurator available the day they launch the car. Notable ones that come to mind were the 812 superfast, 720s, Huracan Performante, Alfa Romeo Guila QV, Jag f-pace, Aston Martin DB11/Vantage, all Porsches. Yet BMW announces a car then 9 months later we get a US configurator. It wouldnt shock me to see it not up until February.

Having been burnt last 3 times.

E39 (angel eye)
E60 (LED tail, 6 speed, CIC)
F10 (competition pkg, B&O headphone, LED headlight)

Waiting for LCI, pay less and get more.
