Has the x5m also ....

Long and short of it is while the 911 is a great sports car, it is uncomfortable rough and not at the same interior comfort or features you want in a daily like a bmw or Benz.

Looking forward to it! Quick shout out to Envious Detailing - probably the first two M5s delivered in CA went to him, total coincidence too.

anything about the fuel tank size and range on a full tank?

Did you get the display key? Wasn't sure if we are getting it in the US. Also does it have auto park?

No display key in the US yet.

I have owned 2 F10's. The first one I had was the first year it came out. The second was a 2015 with competition package and CCBs. Both were fully optioned with same specs as my F90. The only option I have never ordered was the infrared night vision. The lease was up on the 2015 and I returned it yesterday when I picked up the 2018. I have only driven it for a few hours, and in that short amount of time I can say that it is a considerable leap forward from the F10.

I am not a professional auto journalist but here are some observations.

Ride:

I can't speak for the track, but the ride quality on the street and the highway makes the F10 feel like a horse drawn chariot. I am exaggerating, but it is a big and noticeable difference. A lot more comfortable, absorbs bumps and road imperfections way better.

Steering:

Feels tighter to me. I know the car is roughly the same size as the F10, but to me it feels smaller when driving.

Interior:

The interior seems to be much better quality and it feels like everything that I liked about the F10 has been improved upon. Little things like moving the seat memory buttons higher on the door. Wireless charging for your phone!! The technology is mind blowing. The heads up display is larger, clearer, and the way the navigation shows in the HUD is way better. Bowers and Wilkins better than B&O. I didn't mind the F10 seats, but they seem outdated compared to the new ones.

Brakes:

This is a big one. The CCB on my F10 have howled and screeched from day one and I lived with it for 3 years. So far so good, no brake squeal. Hopefully I didn't jinx myself.

Trunk

The trunk seems bigger. Noticeably deeper. Maybe I am wrong and it's an illusion but seems larger.

Engine

When you pop the hood the engine bay looks cleaner, better organized.

To wrap it up the F10 just feels dated and old to me now. I loved the ones I had. I loved them up until yesterday, but this car made me forget about it about 500 feet after I pulled out of the dealership. The F90 feels tighter, stronger, more comfortable, more technology, I think it looks better.

The only negative for me, I wish the wheels looked better. When I took delivery, a lot of people commented on how they loved them, but I would prefer something else.

Thanks a lot for your wonderful feedback. How do you like the all wheel drive? I ask because my F10 M5 would lose grip sometimes on launch with all that power going to the rear wheels.

[eclipxe]

Agree 110% with your sentiment.

"The F90 feels tighter, stronger, more comfortable, more technology"

Same applies to my feelings vs the Tesla. I think its a combination of the ride settings + steering + throttle response, but there is definitely a "dialed-in" and "tightness" to the driving experience. Hard to explain but you immediately feel it behind the wheel.

I agree with you regarding the F10. Unfortunately I have not been able to push this car that hard yet. Hopefully soon!!

Thanks a lot for your reporting. How is seating compared with F10?

That key is a bit too much and too bulky. How many times you think you will use all those features? I can imagine batteries on those not lasting as long as regular keys too.

Niceee. Enjoy it

I like the seats much better. More comfortable, more modern looking.

[Ragazzi-07]

anyone have pics of the standard interior?

not the full leather?

curious to see how the dash looks. the online config shows it has stitching visible.

Enjoy the cars boys!

WOW... all the delivery threads almost made me call my dealer today. Cars look excellent.
