I'll stop derailing OPs thread. I'm not saying the F90 is a bad car, it's the best 4 door saloon currently. I'm saying it could have been a LOT better if it wasn't designed by BMW's Marketing team. |
You Bulgarians must be a hoot at parties.
1. No one said the M5 was an F1, which I agree is a legend. You said the M5 is more like a 5 series sellout and I was pointing out the horsepower is in supercar territory. They are two totally different cars. Reading is fundamental.
2.The SMG as I remember it was basically a piece of crap. Lurching, never felt in right gear, terrible. The V10 however was great. I agree D mode can be boring but the automatic handles optimal shifting in less than 200 milliseconds. You think you can do better than that? You can not.
Here's an article still up about SMG.

Was not a fan of DCT as well. You remember this one about DCT durability on high horsepower cars and the coming automatics? Explains the F90 tranny choice.

3. No vodka there? Thats too bad. Might help your mood.
