Also has the best sound system of the three and nicest interior. All around a superb car the M5 CS is without a doubt. But for emotional and special experience, my Speciale and gated R8 twin turbo are an entirely different league. But it doesn't make the M5 CS any less special as I think it is the best sedan in the world right now and can put a lot of supercars and sports cars to shame on a back road with the right driver. I bet the average person would be faster on a back road in the CS than a lot of supercars.
Hahhaa.

Every comment by TrevorM3 starts with "my Dads….."
I was wondering the same.

I like to use the lay or the non "car guy" person as my definer of super cars. If they see it and say it's a super car than it ls a super car. They don't ruin it with stats, performance numbers or similar arguments noted in this thread. Car guys ruin cars. Never will any of the non car people call out a 4 door car as a super car. And that's a good thing. Because they should stand out. A super car should be super eye catchy, super fast, super expensive and most importantly super sexy. all that is what makes them a super car. They should stand out in every way and never blend into the crowd. You buy this M5 because you want an awesome, fast and practical car and it's a nice humble brag. You buy a super car because of the exclusivity, rarity and to let everyone know you made it.
Interesting that you didn't mention anything about the driving experience in your last sentence. I think that's the primary reason why people buy supercars.
If people bought super cars solely for driving experience, which is subjective I guess, most of the sales of those vehicles would be far lower than they are. I haven't driven many but I know Lamborghinis for a fact and as my example are insanity. The entire car is a blind spot, visibility is non existent, the cars are so low that you have to adjust your route based on the roads conditions. parking lots, parking garages and driveways? Forget about it unless you researched the spot prior. You can't even back a Lamborghini up without opening the door and sitting on the door sill or having someone guide you. All of that to me adds up to "driving experience". My M3 blows all of that out of the water. I can see everything, I can drive it on any public street and park it anywhere I want, plus the performance is more than enough for any public streets. Lamborghini on a track or an open road is probably a different story.

That being said, if money were no option, I would definitely throw a few super cars into the mix but not for the amazing "driving experience", I'm a car guy who likes beautiful cars and if I was on an island alone I'd still want one just for myself.
I never said solely for the driving experience, but rather it being a primary reason. There are people who buy these things for the experience rather than the image. In fact, the image/attention aspect may be more of a deterrent for some.

Comparing the practicality of a BMW with a Lambo is missing the point. Supercars should prioritize emotion over convenience or ease of use. My Countach offers near zero rearward visibility, has no power steering, a ridiculously stiff clutch, a useless A/C and takes 20 minutes to warm up before it changes gears smoothly (I use that term very loosely).

It's a big go kart with a bellowing V12 behind your head. I look forward to every drive.

So is the Countach considered a supercar today? Serious question. Is this something that changes? It does still have the wow factor to some and exclusivity, but not the supercar performance of today's high performance cars.

One of the reasons this car has completely hit the top of my list is the fact that it sorta makes me feel the way BMW used to where they are competing with exotic manufacturers. Remember that euro E36 ad comparing the hp per litre to Ferrari? This car feels like that. BMW punching way above its weight and dominating like it used to generations ago.

In person this car has an amazing presence. In true M5 fashion it is clearly special to those in the know but relatively stealthy otherwise. My E39 left a huge impression on me. Probably shouldn't have sold.

I'd happily buy an M5CS over any of its equally priced competitors without hesitation. There is nothing else at this price range that I can logically see myself driving every day.

If I was able to get a poster of it at my elementary school book-fair… it's a super car.

I love Mclarens , they are fast but they are the biggest piece of shit in terms of quality.

Nightmare stories of lemon cars and cars staying in the shop.

I hope the new Artura can change that!

Which Mclarens have you owned? I was interested in the Artura as my first but might just end up with a used F12. I'm not happy with the sound of the 6 cylinder.

I've owned 5 (still have 3) and have had pretty good luck with them. Obviously not perfect but certainly nothing that has scared me away from the brand. I also have friends who own them so I'd probably hear about their horror stories if they had any.

I generally prefer real world experience and direct evidence vs anecdotal experiences posted by internet strangers.

My advice is to grab a 675LT. They're a bargain and still the most exciting car that McLaren has made in my opinion.

I had the 570s for a little while and had so many electrical problems. I will be going for either the Hurcan sto or 812 Ferrari. I am sure Mclaren will fix this since they are one of the best , it's just Ferrari and Lamborghini have been making cars longer.

I'm so jealous of you Americans.

When you say get 675LT, because it's a bargain, the cheapest one in Australia is over half a mill and certainly not a bargain

I'm not saying it's a bad car by any means….but I don't feel it looks amazing. The colors seem boring. Then add in the $25k markup or whatever some dealers are charging? Hard pass.

For that much, I'd buy something more exotic. Just my 0.02.

Lol when you buy something more exotic you will still have to pay a premium. Everything exotic is selling for over MSRP. If you can get an allocation.

Oh no doubt.....the M5CS just isn't something I'd pay a premium for (meaning over MSRP).

Not my Rolls. I have a smattering of different classic and modern exotics from various manufacturers (Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, McLaren, AMG) plus a few Bimmers (M2 CS, M5 CS, M4 GTS).
I love Mclarens , they are fast but they are the biggest piece of shit in terms of quality.

Nightmare stories of lemon cars and cars staying in the shop.

I hope the new Artura can change that!
Which Mclarens have you owned? I was interested in the Artura as my first but might just end up with a used F12. I'm not happy with the sound of the 6 cylinder.
Get the F12 over any maclaren. There is something special about a Ferrari. Anyone that has visited Maranello will agree

For that much, I'd buy something more exotic. Just my 0.02.
to me that is 100% its appeal.

But for a $150k luxury sedan (cheap relative to many alternatives), it's just about as close as they come.
Where can I find one for 150k? last time I checked they were going for 180k + with mileage on them. Brand new ones are going for around 200k in Saudi Arabia
