sometimes they say it's the small things that add up .... in this case.. I would imagine that the smaller fuel tank was a method of weight savings as well as packaging an AWD system under the vehicle. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 08-21-2017 at 05:31 PM.. |

No DCT
No 4 wheel steering No active anti-roll bars Less HP than AMG E63S The rear lower section looks shit. Tail pipes are tiny. I'll pass.

The MBB car has PS4S 285/35-20 No Spec tires installed yet has the same door jamb sticker (for M Driver's Package). Keep in mind that those pics and videos were shot months ago. Last edited by lemetier; 08-21-2017 at 06:21 PM.. |

As a current owner of a 70,000 km 2012 M5 that's been daily driven, tracked, generally appreciated, I think this will be a step forward.
Although I have not driven the car I am willing to bet the AWD will be dynamically enjoyable and less obtrusive than most. They've thought about it, which is encouraging. I have other high powered AWD cars and fully appreciate how much it helps put power on the pavement, particularly in less than ideal traction conditions. No one has mentioned the oil pump... "Oil supply system uses fully variable, map-controlled pump". Is this anything like the fully variable map-controlled water pumps BMW has offered? Here's hoping not! Instead of a 'check engine' light, you'll have a 'change engine' light. |

Floating single piston caliper for the rear brakes.... Now that's a little cheap for your 5-series flagship BMW... Especially for owners who want to take the car to the track...
Also the big red M1 and M2 buttons are tacky.

You said that about the last one and ended up buying three of them.

HP # is weak and styling is a disappointment compared to how well received and beautiful the F10 M5 was.
Smart play would be to wait for CompPack with 625hp and better suspension setup etc. |

And lets face it the F10's styling and interior was leaps and bounds above the W212 and first gen Panamera. Back in 2011 Mercedes and Audi were peddling boxy cars, with plastic dashboards and 7" VGA nav screens. There was no competition for the F10. That's why I bought three of them! I struggle to articulate any area in which this M5 is better than the competition other than maybe the seats (I say maybe because these thick seats tend to cannibalize rear leg room - with my F10 nobody could sit behind me in the rear so it was essentially a 3 seat car.)

This is cheesy as hell and I can't believe it's still happening. Even the M3 has fixed caliper, two piston rears.
