Thats the red color I like! Looks superb! And Im not a fan of red sedans, but this is very cool combo. If it works - it works! End of story!

[Fantastic 5]

Saw this color on a 2020 and was really surprised how much I loved it. Looks great! Enjoy!

Late to the party! What a gorgeous red and awesome spec.

How's the ride on the MP HAS?? Did you go with the default ride height setting?

[BLACK OPS]

I love this car! Congrats on a superb design.

Something is growing on me - and my name is not even Greg Norman...

Congrats and enjoy !

Smidge lower. Further adjustments will be made as it breaks in. The ride quality is really good. Way better than the F80. Still an M, so it's not buttery, but comfort setting is really nice. Sport and sport plus are noticeably different and firmer. I don't have a ton of experience on lci ride quality but it's way better than F80 or even stock pre-lci F90 ride quality

I love my F80 but this F90 is out of this world. 100 miles and haven't noticed anything weird. I'll add more pics later!

That is foking BANANAS!!!!

Oh the many shoes/wheels options you have...

That RED looks absolutely DELICIOUS on this car!!

Thanks! My LCI feels pretty good and yes def better than F80. But I am intrigued by the HAS... Particularly if spring rates are higher, for more track platform.

My 2018 F80 was very nice: only had the competition package. bare bones i guess you could call it. unbelievably fast , it sort of snuck up on you. but i never really liked the sound of it. i stayed stock with the ZCP exhaust and it never really got better.
The ride was very harsh. the slightest thing in the road would disturb it and it would cause rattling and creaking. the door creaks also were a constant issue, even after the fix. it also was a bit uncomfortable to get in and out of. I'm a smaller person, so it fit me really well, but i never really liked, as a daily, to be constantly getting in and out of it. BUT, it handled incredibly well. the whole car stayed planted and was fun to kick out when you needed it to. All in all, i really loved this car. had character. felt alive. very fun to drive, even stock.
**
BUT here comes the F90.
The F90 is noticeably better in 3** areas. Tech, Ride Quality, Sound.
Obviously, the sheer price difference would add a bit of luxury and TECH. so i wont go into much there.
--
the ride quality is incredibly better in COMFORT, without sacrificing a well-balanced feel and being planted when turning. i dont really feel the weight of the 5 series platform when cornering, (not at speed or track bc i only have 200 miles on it etc). the 4wd does an excellent job of keeping everything together. Clear differences in SPORT and SPORT-PLUS, with more "harshness" and quicker feel with the suspension. It very much feels like an M.
--
the sound is incredibly better. people have their opinions i'm sure. but im happy with it so far. deep tone, cold start is weird, but after that it sounds really good. part of that is the fact its still a V8, but i think after break-in there is a lot of potential there. i want to put some miles on the M-Sport exhaust to see how it ends up. maybe ill upgrade, but who knows.
** THE F90 is obviously a monster in terms of power and speed, but until break-in, I cant give a direct comparison.**

TL;DR, You get what you pay for with BMW. the F80 i got for a really good deal. brand-new but sat at the dealer for about 7-8 months bc it didn't have any of the cool features. it was very fast but unforgiving, lacked LUXURY and comfort, and sounded a bit weird. The F90 was expensive, ordered, but has everything you want, LUXURY + INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE without compromises.

Beautiful car!

You listed "MPE HAS" - is that the M Performance Exhaust + 3rd party HAS? I don't see an M Performance HAS for the M5.

Thank you!

Typo!! It is the mperf HAS. It is available as a retrofit. Was installed at the dealer before delivery.

[M5Fanatics]

Congrats on your new car, love the spec!

[Jas387]

That’s my dream car and spec. Absolutely stunning

[Luminor513]

Now that's red! rosso corsa look phenomenal on the M5. Congrats and enjoy the new ride.

[delta-9-ginseng]

This is a great spec!

[Ryno 27]

Color is stunning, Ferrari red. I saw the color in person on a M8 a few days ago.

AMAZING

[nordmanmg]
