2019 F90 M5 Competition BMW Pick-Up! Review, Video and Pick Up
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Here are some of the preliminary pictures...some video - an inside video of the exhaust sound and review of my first hours with the car. The car was not washed as my Detailer wanted no swirls lol. A preliminary review will be the next post. Last edited by vtknight; 08-14-2018 at 11:46 PM.. |

I believe this was the first F90 M5 CP in North America to be released to a customer.
As I said above - Jon and Newel from Maranello delivered a great experience. It’s only been a day - but this car is fast becoming the best car I have ever driven...truly unbelievable. The initial review of the car was easy to write...it's awesome! I have been fortunate to drive the BMW M competitors and I can say that this car just...fits my personality compared to its competition. It is such a complete, all round car. Fun to drive and luxurious. Straight quick and such a solid chassis for road course. The looks were fairly unassuming, but I was surprised how much the blacked out parts made a difference. I wasn't happy about the Pirelli's, but I guess it's an excuse to "replace" them shall we say... Driving: the cars brakes are pretty impressive - and this is coming from a C7Z carbon ceramic brake owner. The car is firm, but still smooth and can even be soft when in comfort. Acceleration is impressive - even before "break in" and likely being on 91 octane from the Dealer. The chassis is TIGHT. In full on Sport plus mode - the car is immensely stable and capable. I have my two M buttons as polar opposites and I find that very useful for business driving and pleasure. Exhaust is impressive - although still muted in the cabin. Outside - is a different story, as I scared more than a few people with it lol... Electronic and fit and finish are top notch - and the SEATS...oh my goodness - they are GOOD! I have mine fit to my body using the bolster controls... There will be many trips to the track for real testing - and a full professional review of this car in the coming weeks after break in is properly concluded. Stay Tuned!

Car goes in for detailing tomorrow - then it will be reviewed by a Team I am helping; they produce Top Gear like content on a much more efficient budget lol...
You can see me racing at 22:23 with my previous M550ix against the 2018 Corvette Grand Sport. I think it is fair to say I do well lol...Stay tuned for this M5 CP versus...something VERY interesting... Last edited by vtknight; 08-14-2018 at 11:51 PM.. |

NOPE my Sports exhaust sounds just the same as that in confined spaces like that car is.

That is exactly my understanding lol. Same exhaust - different tune. And it makes sense - BMW has to build the M5 for the hardcore and luxury folk alike - they can take a little more risk believing the Competition buyer may be okay with louder. That said - they still kept the comfort setting comfort - something I worried about actually lol...So it is still a balance. I’m the end it’s moot - it’s the same engine with a different tune and same exhaust with a different tune. I’m not modding mine at all - so I went for the most performance I can buy from factory. The tunes coming out will be way more power - and I said as much when I was debating to get the CP.
