yes there are 2 settings only for steering.

i find the ride quality just fine in Comfort mode in '21 M5C over about 900 miles so far, across a mix of freeway, city roads, and country roads. feels fine

Great car so far. Plenty of power and I really like the new front and rear look.

Test drove one of these today as was really disappointed on the exhaust sounds, sounded really tamed compared to my x6m. Is there anything that can be removed from the exhaust (I'm in the uk so not sure if it's just on a eu spec car)

Was it the competition model? How was the drive in terms of comfort?

How are the brakes so far? Do you have ceramics? Do you have any squeal?

I feel like the exhaust problems are specific to Euro-spec cars, and mainly UK ones. It's such a shame that they reduce the noise so much

It is the mandatory Otto particulate filter.

Think majority of the monies you spent on resides under the hood. It's a subtle super sedan for people whom like the practicality of a sedan plus remain subtle and hover under the radar.

If you like to be loud, for M5 money and maybe abit more can get something fast, loud and or a higher brand tier.
This is quite true. I have enjoyed the big beast but having a bit more fun in the GTR...

Was nothing personal, It just seems BMW becomes cheaper at LCI.
Look at the headlight of a 2018/2019, and notice the detail, then this, is like attaching a strip of led lights wherever.

then again, BMW would more than likely sell you laser headlights for 3k if you wanted to swap them out.
I think it would be worth it lol. I was very disappointed when I order mine and I couldn't get those headlights
