[MNoob]

Picked up a 2022 yesterday after six months of watching the dots slowly move on MyBMW. Lot's of threads on this but I figured I'd add my $.02.

From Akra to M Performance- M Performance is a bit louder and deeper. I was surprised how different the overall sound is. I unplugged the Akra valves long ago so that's not the difference. I don't notice any change in overrun characteristics, except for the M5C above 40mph (still has them). The 2022 is definitely not muted or tamed in the exhaust (USA car…)

Sport + to Sport +, the suspension is very comfortable in the M5C. Easily livable as a daily. Turn in feels sharper ( more camber?)

M5C throttle is more sensitive in a good way. Feels more aggressive on tip-in. Don't know if that's a model year thing or Comp thing. Makes the car more engaging to drive for me.

Shifts feel softer in the M5C, but I'm not beating on it just yet, so maybe a bit early for that observation.

I like the exterior design changes, but that's all subjective.

The updated instrument panel and 60" TV on the dash are what they are. I'd prefer having the individual settings on the center console as before. The Mode button apparently only changes the instrument panel view. Uh, ok.

Digital key. If you say so. I can't get it to work and the genius isn't.

CCB. Smooth as butter. Not grabby and not a single noise (in all 22 miles)

The only thing my car is "missing" is the wireless charging (funny that it still has the wireless icon on the mat). I was able to keep the Rocky and Bullwinkle sound.

Overall I love the car and it feels like a big improvement over the 2018 base. To those waiting and watching the dots, it's well worth the wait.
