Yea, could've pushed for more, but I'm happy with $17.5k off total. My sales guy has always taken care of me and I didn't want to squeeze out more of his margins. The 2019's people got upwards of 20% off, but I think still a bit too early for that on 2020's; maybe when LCI drops 20% off will be standard.

I own an X3 MC and I couldn’t be happier with it (especially after a simple Stage 1 tune elevated the bhp to 660). S58 is just a wonderful engine to mod. Nonetheless, I also decided to add a performance sedan to my garage. I pre-ordered an RS7 and was patiently waiting for it to arrive. And then COVID happened and the delivery date got pushed back indefinitely. Yesterday, I received a call from my BMW dealer offering me a brand new M5 comp for 105k (a customer pulled back his order). Decisions, decisions...

I've been wondering this for some time now, but never posted the question... Why did BMW not carry over the wider rear fender flare of the previous F10 M5 and instead opt for a narrower rear flare? The front flare is very wide but the rear doesn't match like it did on the F10.
See my previous F10 below for reference:

F90 is 1.8 inches wider than F10. (75" vs 73.2")
Also according to dimensions, F90 is actually wider than G30. Width: 190.3 cm or 74.92 inches vs 186.8 cm or 73.54 inches (Source: https://www.ultimatespecs.com/car-sp...M5-xDrive.html) Last edited by amg55driver; 03-25-2020 at 09:07 AM.. |

I just wanted to mention this now that I'm in the M5. The ZF 8-Speed is definitely the best auto transmission to date in the automotive world. However, after having the R8 with the dual-clutch, I can tell you that there is noticeable shift-lag with the ZF (probably no big surprise to you). The dual-clutch in the R8 is lightning fast and feels like a proper F-1 transmission. There's no replacing a proper dual-clutch and BMWs decision to remove the option of it in several of the M-cars will go down as one of the worse decisions ever. I will definitely be going back to a dual-clutch vehicle after my lease is up.

I agree...PDK (let alone PDK in the GT cars) is worlds better than the ZF auto, no matter how good the ZF is. That said, the ZF in my M5C is better than I thought but still leaves a lot to be desired - particularly the cheap plastic paddles. People wonder why Porsches cost more, but once you’ve owned many of each brand, the quality level and attention to detail on Porsche becomes overwhelmingly obvious.

The R8 is fantastic! I do agree, it makes it tough to drive anything else after getting into Porsche.

Not following the rationale on losing money on the r8, as M5 values tank. I actually have a 19 comp and previously had a r8 plus as a secondary car which I traded for a GT3RS.
I had a 17 r8 plus for about 11 months put on 3k miles and traded it for a loss of 10k and got a good deal on the RS... mind you I picked up the R8 after it was about 2 years old. My rationale for getting into the RS was based primary on fun factor but also preservation of value. I think the M5 is way more practical as a primary car, I leased my M5 for tax purposes and was ok with its massive depreciation secondary to that. As much as I love the M5 and as physics defying of a car as it is its not in the same league as the r8/exotic car in terms of driving enjoyment/feel. I actually like that color interior. Congrats man. |
