It's worth it. That was not a box that could be checked when ordering through dealer here in US unless I missed it.

PaulT_M5 · 10-15-2018, 02:16 PM

I thought the best colour was San Marino Blue?

Aren’t you worried about hammering on the car before the first service? I see you only have 1689km on her? No break-in period?

desertfox73 · 10-15-2018, 08:30 PM

So good you started two threads on the same topic!

Pimpsy · 10-15-2018, 10:05 PM

How did you get the ceramic controls??? That option is not listed in the US config tool.

Neither is right hand drive!

Pimpsy · 10-16-2018, 01:33 AM

I see ceramic controls listed on the UK build tool. I'm going to ask my dealer if it can be special ordered in the US.

Thanks for the great review! Cant get enough of m5 videos until I get my own. Enjoy your beautiful car my friend!

Mlynarz · 10-16-2018, 02:18 PM

I was wondering whether to pick ceramic controls or not, however from what I see on the video tests it is always dirty from fingerprints. Additionally probably it would get scratches as much as piano black so I decided to omit this option. It would not be hard to retrofit it if I would miss it anyway

Ceramic is almost impossible to scratch.
It looks great in my 550 and I don't notice a problem with fingerprints. Once you get used to ceramic controls the brushed aluminum looks and feels sort of cheap.
I hope I can get it as an option in the US.
