Just received my F90 M5 on Wednesday (7/18/18) and have already put 600 miles on it as of 7/22/18. So far I have enjoyed every bit of this car and look forward to driving it every day. Still waiting to put in the 1200 miles for the break in service to do anything crazy, but have enjoyed driving around moderately.

A few things I have really enjoyed is the comfort and how easy it is to drive this car. You can throw this car around a corner, while feel very confident doing so, and it does not feel like you are throwing a 4300lb boat around. The exterior looks amazing and the interior is very comfortable and very modern. I love the iDrive system and the interior lighting with the Bowers and Wilkins, especially during night time. Seats are very adjustable and very comforting, but the massage feature is pointless in my opinion. The massage functions are very weak and not as exciting as I thought, but still a cool feature to have nonetheless. The main reason I love this car is because it is a luxury sedan that is capable of keeping up with a lot of modern, more performance oriented cars and does a great job doing it.

Later this week the grille and side vents will be painted black, followed by the door handles being wrapped black and ceramic coating over the whole car. I can not wait to see some of the tunes and aftermarket parts that roll out for this car and I will be posting more pictures after the coating is done.

Update 7/27: Ceramic coating done! This paint is really popping now. Ended up buying the black grille and side markers rather than having them painted. The door handles were also wrapped in black to get rid of the chrome on that as well.

The Singapore Grey is really growing on me. Did you go individual color?

Congrats on the new F90!

Nope just Singapore gray. I'm in love with this color because it has hints of blue purple and green depending on lighting. Very unique and I am very happy with the color.

Let us know how the grill painting goes it's almost $1000 for the shadow line replacement and I can't get my head around that.

I think the parts are around $400 from BMW. Very easy to take off and install.
