Thanks Billy. There's more around than I would like. Was out a walk with the kids the other day and saw a beautiful Mexico blue one. The only thing that im not as keen on about this car is the colour - I've just come form a Sapphire Black M4 to this and I really fancied a change but the spec was too good to ignore.

Wow congrats mate, like my cars twin had a feeling you would get one of these at some point, they are something special aren’t they, oh and personally think they look superb in black

I had an M3 on Order until a test drive showed me that it would have been a down grade , M5 just to hard to beat

I was looking at dealer-stock M3s and M5s but I dropped the M3 pretty quickly when I considered the price. Having owned an M6 and later, an M4 I really felt that the M4 was very much a big downgrade in quality from tech, to build and that put me off paying such a big amount for a new M3.

I’d initially been more interested in the E63s than the M5, simply because I haven’t ever owned a Mercedes but after not finding the car I wanted and having taken advice from a guy I know in the vehicle finance trade, I decided to shelve my plans altogether and keep the M4 for longer. About two days later this car popped up at a local dealer I know well. The test drive sealed the deal and that was it.

It really does feel like two cars in one. Whereas in most previous performance cars I’ve owned, I’ve felt they’ve pretty much just been a one-trick pony that you can dial up or dial down. With this, it can just feel like a normal 5 series and at the flick of a button it’s an absolute animal!
