Hey guys just purchased a new 2019 Marina bay blue M5 Competition with executive package and Bowers Wilkins sounds system! can wait to drive it next week.......goodbye to the F10 M5

anyone can give feedback on their competition M5?

Greer · 12-12-2018, 04:37 PM

I also had an F10 M5 and the F90 M5 Comp takes it to the next level. Faster, handles better, nicer fit and finishes, better seats, and looks better IMHO.

It's Ok, not unbelievable. Congrats, I have the same car and love it.
The most noticeable feature of the Competition is the suspension. Firmer, tighter handling,More of a sports car than a power sedan.Marvelous on smooth and decent surfaces, slightly twitchy on bumpy roads of course.Definitely more solidly planted while driving.More Hardcore than a M5. The exhaust is sweet in any mode especially Sport plus when you stomp on it.Everything else is mostly cosmetic.

very cool.....also nice to know this car Dynos 620+whp stock!

Coming from 2 F10 M5's I can say the F90 MC5 is a step up in almost every facet with the AWD being the biggest game changer. This car excels at getting the power to the ground; the F10 M5 struggled mightily accomplishing this.

With the MC5 you get the added benefit of the slightly different tune, more aggressive suspension, better sounding exhaust (M-Sport / tune), 17 HP gain and some good looking seatbelts.

I'm not an audiophile, but I'm pleased with B&W and it is more than enough for me.

Enjoy the new ride in good health!

r33_RGSport · 12-12-2018, 06:18 PM

Congrats and enjoy the ride.
Hope you can get good rest until the car is ready to be driven.

Greer · 12-12-2018, 07:17 PM

The Bowers and Wilkins is only slightly better then the upgraded stereo in the F10 M5.

Congrats

Yeah you got me on that one!

The CP in person is a hot car.....it just needs those carbon accents added...like the rear wing, diffuser, side skirts and maybe the front carbon splitters

There are alot of settings and I find the sound among the best I have heard after tweaking the settings.

Steeve19M5CP · 12-19-2018, 06:04 PM

Got it last Friday! mods on the way

I disagree. The B&O in my F10 seemed better. Broader tonality with better clarity.

But everything else about the F90 is like 2-3 generations better than the F10!

The B&W sounds amazing vs the Bavsound on my prior F10 M5(with aftermarket 12" subwoofer)....worth every dollar! love the white lighting on the speakers..

This was the reason I went for the B&W, I feel that, a little like the exhaust that its gotten better with time. Some speakers need running in and I have toyed with this idea in my head.

Either way, its not setup perfectly at its default settings but once played with I think its a solid 8/10 for a CAR system, however the for the price charged it should be better - my Meridian setup in my Range Rover Sport was much better for example and less costly....but then it didn't light up
