Hi all

I have had my M5 Comp since the start of the year and 3,500 miles. Donnington with tartufo interior.

I have had the last few generations of M5 (E60 and F10) with a GTR and RS6 in between. I much prefer the F90 to the F10 but the E60 remains my favourite as it felt significantly lighter / more nimble than the later models. The exhaust cracks on the F90 also needs sorting out - I read so many posts stating how people love the "pops and bangs" but it just feels so contrived - I drive in manual 95% of the time and every time you back off after accelerating the exhaust cracks, it would be much better if it only did it every now and then.

Other than that minor point (which you can drive around), the F90 is a great car. However, for me it is not a car that encourages me to get up at 5:30 on a Sunday to go for a drive. So, I have a new 720s arriving on 2 September to fill that particular void....

Hi all,

After never thinking I would get rid of my 2016 RS3, my head was turned by an M5. Five days later, I have made the leap and pick it up on Sept 4th. Alpine White, Non Comp, Comfort, Sports exhaust and mirror and grille surrounds painted gloss black. I’m genuinely very excited....

Be good to get involved in here after being over on Audisport.net for so long.
Cheers,

Rad

So the sports exhaust option on the non comp M5’s are just plain black?

Hi all,

Very happy new member here, picked up my F90-M5 last Friday so had all bank holiday weekend to enjoy in this gorgeous weather.
Azurite Black, Black Merino interior, ceramic control trims, premium & comfort pack, Active Stop-Go Cruise control. Such a beast, yet comfortable cruiser for 4 adults when needed. Am going to love building this relationship from my 435i GC I'd P/ex'd.

Garage List
Hello all, first post - well, what else do you do on the night before collection

Merseyside/Lancashire border.

M3 Comp on contract hire went back early on Friday, solely due to a stonking deal on a new M5. Collect in the morning.
  • Singapore Grey
  • Black Merino
  • Dark Carbon Trim
  • Sports Exhaust
  • M Seat Belts
  • Comfort Pack
  • Driving Assistant Plus
  • Bower & Wilkins
  • Apple Car Play

Never driven one, but don't care - I know I'm going to love it!

Ceramic detail booked in, as is a tracker and dash cam instal. Other than that, probably going to leave it as it came out of the factory - well, for now...

Hi John

Its actually the right spec (i think) but wrong colour!

Order was for black, dealer sent me a small print out (not the normal full quote with spec and car image-said he couldnt do it!?) but it had Vin number which said black...when i check Vin on decoder it says Grey!

Slightly worrying tho is delivery is late, when i questioned it and he said 'will see if if its out of our workshops'....they wouldnt....would they??!!

Lets just say "Keep a strong eye on them", it has been known for a complete fuck up.

They will NOT be able to change the colour, but just check with another Vin checker to see what that comes up with, they may have given you someone else's VIN. also
