What mods did you have on the older car and what mods do you have on your F90 now and THOUGHTS on how they compare? Any regrets?

I will try and spark this thread with

Audi S8 APR Stage II APR and RS7 Wheels, was a very fast and nice car but handling and steering were a big let down!

Zero regrets after the move! Never looked back
Thanks for posting
No need to ditch a car to purchase New M5? Why not enjoy both worlds if you can afford it? Couldn’t let my X5M go, so just decided to keep both and rotate days I drive X5M on rainy days and M5 on Sunny days.

Thanks again for posting your history of cars!
I love the post
GREAT post, thats whats great about these forums, to interact with like minded enthusiasts! Cheers!

2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S

Was a bad-ass machine - loved the roar, but was completely impractical. Slept all winter and only had about 5K miles on it after almost 5 years. I miss the fun of it, but I hope it's found a better owner who won't keep it as a garage queen.

I test drove one of those and I agree sound was so dramatic, wish M5 can emulate that in their cars

That's unusual!

Both look beautiful and I still believe best looking ///M is the M4

Thanks.

I actually haven't taken delivery of my M5C yet but I'm happy to post comparison thoughts after I do.

And yup, it was an E63S.

And don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind to send the M5 somewhere to do a wagon conversion. Shouldn't cost much right?

Just placed my order for a M5C last week - hope to get it by May. I've been driving an X3 destined for my wife when it comes in, but prior to that my daily was a '14 Audi S6. Other than the significantly outdated interior and tech, I loved everything about that car.
