POLL: Garage Queen or All Weather M5

fun2drv · 02-17-2019, 01:06 PM

Had a '15 M4 garage queen and a '17 M2 DD. Sold both and bought this BEAST for everyday duties. So far I'm SUPER happy with the M5!!!

Life is just too short. No sense in having a very expensive "paper weight" in the garage that is depreciating by the hour so that the next buyer gets to enjoy it at half the price. That is exactly what I experienced with my '15 M4. It only had 19K in 4 years and the value had dropped to almost half of what I paid for it. My friend bought it and he is having a blast with it now. I'm enjoying the M5 EVERY single day. What a MACHINE!!!

I did the two car deal for a long time, but going to simplify and just own one for a while and see how things go. So far so good for me.

Only real issue I had was the parking sensors were so dirty that I could not put it in reverse since it thought I was going to hit someone.

Bingo, I have a few cars including the M5 and all of them get winter tires and rims. Enjoy, drive, have fun, life flies by.

This drives me nuts as well! That abrupt stopping is killer, had to get out few times and clean off sensors.

I had to have someone check if my transmission was ok in fears I scrapped it pulling out of a lake (yes the lake was frozen and it was awesome) the day prior. I saw an R8 climb the little lip so I figured the M5 wouldn't have an issue.

Mine is a DD all year round. Michelin makes a pilot sport a/s. Phenomenal tire imo.

You dumped your summer tires for a/s?! I slapped on sotto zero serie 2s and they are phenomenal in the snow. Then once spring breaks, back to summer!

DD for me unless we get a rare Oregon snow, then it’s the 02 Tahoe.
