Maybe it's because it's my first truly nice ride...

... but it still hasn't gotten old catching other drivers eyeing my car up as I drive past them.

Honestly, I hope that feeling never goes away!

Well, it IS Donington. I would expect nothing less.

PS.....Donington looks great on other BMWs. But, there is just something about it on an M5.

It is a sight to behold, and there is a never ending stream of compliments about the color of my M!

The good news is that the Donnington color is going away so your car will only age better.

Had some young kid in a 435i yesterday stop next to me at a light, eyed the car the whole time, and then tried to show off by passing me and letting me hear his "loud" pops. Man would I like to have showed him up.

Hahaha, I've encountered this as well. Takes a lot of restraint for my 45 year old external self to not let my 16 year old inner self always win!

Sometimes you just gotta let it out though. If there wasn't traffic around me, I would have let him hear the MPE.

pbonsalb · 07-08-2022, 07:34 PM

I like Donnington because it helps make the M5 look like a Camry and blend into traffic. My goal was to attract as little attention as possible.

Lol was at target in the pick up spots and a guy made his girlfriend turn and look at my car when they walked by and then gave me a thumbs up and mouthed "bad ass". DG!

It never gets old.

I’ve had this happen a few times, I return the favor by coming off the line as slow as possible.

Nah, he knows he’s beat already. He just wants to see it take off. Not worth the risk. I like when they don’t know.

And you didn't drive away with his girlfriend?

And here I thought MBB was the best F90 color.
