LCI M5 Competition Review by MotoMan

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Pretty good review of the M5 Comp from one of the more entertaining Youtube car reviewers.

Interestingly he has an M5 in a rarely seen Verde Ermes color. Looks amazing!

Beautiful color. I have always loved a green exterior of an M5, ever since I first saw an Oxford Green E39 back in the day. Just such a classy color for a classy car.

Excellent review. Thorough without overdoing it with an "extensive review of the rear armrest." I have an M5C awaiting production and I had no idea my iPhone can serve as the key. Very cool.

You guys really think this was a good review? He really didn't get a lot of facts right and kept conflating the difference between the regular M5 and the M5C, and the pre-LCI and LCI M5C to the point that you really can't figure out what he's really talking about.

Thumbs down.

Funny review. Verde ermes starting to grow on me. It's like the green version of marina bay blue if that makes sense. Anyone ever seen the color in person?

Great looking color, I would have gone with a different interior, more like a tartufo/cognac color, but the car is gorgeous overall. The reviewer is frankly a little irritating in his delivery.

Haven't people put them on the dyno and proven it's making a lot more? More like 660hp.

What kind of dyno? The same dyno that BMW uses to measure the hp of their engines? Dynos for the masses arent the same.

In the US, BMW M550i does not get the Touch Climate Control that Canada, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East gets. It is only standard on the M5 and the 7 Series in the US. Does anyone knows the order code? Thanks!

Even on a mustang dyno which reads low they are showing way over the advertised power. Stock they run 10.9@129mph with a good launch, 617hp on a 4400lbs car is not doing that.
