That's like saying a flame thrower isn't an adequate replacement for a match... while it'll do the job, it might kill you in the process. So you're completely right--congrats.

Were you able to test drive the M5C before you pulled the trigger? It's definitely not for everyone...

I finally traded it in for the M5C a couple of months ago and it's like I got my RS7 back, but even better in many ways! Good riddance to the Velar, for it has soured my perception of the Land Rover/Range Rover brand. The M5C is an incredible car and has been flawless so far (knock on wood).
Wow!

Hello, new to the site. Haven't gotten my M5C yet but currently working with the dealer on one. I sold my 12C and was back and forth between the M5 and another GTR Nismo version. Already owned a gtr so leaning alot towards the M5.

E46 M3 might have been the most balanced/fun M car ever.... And before you decide to roast me, I've been the lucky owner of many M cars in my young life:

3 E46 M3s (1 Vert SMG, 1 Coupe SMG, 1 Coupe 6-Speed)
E60 M5 - SMG
E90 M3 - 6 Speed & ESS 650 Supercharged
F12 M6 DCT with too many mods to list.
Current - F90 M5

All of these cars are special in their own way but I can say that the E46 M3 in the 6-speed variant was my favorite. The only other car I extracted 100% of the power 80% of the time or more in the driver seat was my AP2 S2000.... And if you know cars, the S2K is one for the books.

Second fav when it came to Driver experience was my ESS supercharged E90M3.

Favorite sounding car was my E60 M5. That V10 was intoxicating, especially with the Eisennman Race exhaust.

I love the F90 M5 but i'm still learning the car's language. I'll report back in 2-3 months. But again, all this is highly subjective.

Very subjective but glad you appreciate those M3's. No question that the power and acceleration in my M5C is incredible.... just doesn't quite have ... that (subjective) 'something' or direct connection to the driver like my M3.

Zero (which surprised me as the former owner of 2 supercharged cars). And neither have multiple testers so yes it compares favorably with a supercharged rig.

So you ask in what world is the M5 Comp faster and handle better than a ZL1?

The real world.
You live in a dream, magazine world. Glad you like your M5--it is a great car and a leader in its class. Further, it admittedly hangs with many more traditional sports cars.

Which part of the stats he posted aren't quite right?

// for clarity, I'm not being contentious, I simply don't know what the comparison should look like

Ditched my 2014 Audi S4 with Stage 2 APR tune. Garbage. I'll never have another rebranded Volkswagen again.

Tell me about it. One of the best looking color I owned.
I know who bought it and it's going all nuts with rebuilding

Went from modded a F82 competition to F90 competition!! At first I was sceptical, but after doing ED with F90, I totally fell in love.

It handled all the mountain passes like a champ.
