Not the usual questions...

Hey...so i wanted to find out more about the f90 m5. However, these aren't the typical questions on performance. We know all about that pretty much.

I would like to know more about the comfort levels against the f10 m5.

Would anyone like to opine which suspension is more comfortable and pothole forgiving in Comfort mode, on the f10 m5 or the f90 m5? Which vwhicles' comfort mode is more comfortable?
Would anyone know which of the m5s has better sound insulation from the outside?
Would anyone know which vehicle has better interior fit finish and quality materials?
And finally, which vehicle would you say is more..."luxurious"?

Thanks.

F90 is by far better in every category's. I wouldn't even think getting F10

I'm also curious about this comparison for anyone who came from or used to own a C7 (2012-2018) Audi S6.

I have not had an S6, but my mother-in-law had a 2016. In all of those comparisons I think the F90 is far superior. It is shocking how big of a difference the F90 has between all sport+ settings and how luxurious it feels in all comfort settings.

I think the C7 S6's are just very dated and behind the times now that Audi has redesigned the tech/interior of all of its cars, and the ones it hasn't are currently getting the redesign in MY2019 (like the A6/S6).

The F90 is one of the first BMWs to get their tech redesign, along with the X3 off the top of my head, so it feels light years ahead of previous gen Audis in terms of luxuriousness inside.

I drove both. This is one of the rare occasions that the new model beats the old one in every single category. In addition to better driving dynamics, better performance, slightly better sound, lower weight, better steering;

F90 is more comfortable in comfort mode, and stiffer in sport plus mode just as it needs to be.
F90 has better sound insulation.
F90 has way better interior fit & finish and it feels way more luxurious as well.

Sounds like BMW nailed it with the F90!
