New M5 Competition for the UK

I thought I would post a few pictures of my M5 CP, I had the M5STD 2018, this car however is a "step up", thanks to Simon in the UK I decided to go for one, and I'm glad I did.

now that you've got real seat time in both lets get a break down of how you'd evaluate the ride characteristics?

Do you feel any difference power wise?

Does the suspension ever have you longing for the standard setup?

Well out of the box the CP feels quicker power wise and steering more focused and cornering much tighter, that coupled with the sound (which is addictive) it's a better car IMO. But my M5S was /is getting better power wise with miles after 5700 miles it was quicker for sure, so if your happy with the STD car not being "tighter all round" then stick with that IMO, if you drive on many very poor roads the CP will let you know, but it's still not that bad on them.

Marina Bay Blue grows more and more on me. Especially with the black details on the Competition Package. Imagining it with the caramel interior.
