I think it is fair to say I do well lol...Stay tuned for this M5 CP versus...something VERY interesting...

Fair play - 5 seater trumps 2 seater. Watched the clip a couple of time as I can't believe the lag between corvette paddle upshift and GM slushbox swapping cogs - yawn.....

Throttle House is a very good watch here recently. Will be on the lookout for their take on your car.

Absolutely gorgeous!

I have driven the F80 - and the road noise is much more quiet in the 5 series - for many that is a complaint lol. It's a nice balance in my opinion.

The A8 is hit and miss - sometimes it's amazing other times it's laggy and doesn't respond. Each happened during this shoot. The ZF auto in the F90 is night and day better - all round - both road manners and road coursing.

Thanks! I will post it here when it is completed...

Looks great. I'm not a person who likes blue on cars, but I think at the same time it really sets off the F90 M5 and works really well on these. Enjoy!

eMvy · 08-15-2018, 08:20 AM

Amazing car, congrats! Curious to see what kind of time it'll shave off compared to the non CP M5.

Thanks Jeremy—yours is spectacular as well! I've driven all the current M models with the exception of the F90 M5/M5C so I can't imagine how amazing it must be.

Vic55 · 08-15-2018, 10:19 AM

Congrats VT-- love it... I just got a good two days with a First Edition (posted in the M5 Versus section) and was rather impressed.

The Comp Pack M5s here in the UK, seem to be running Pirelli P Zeros, whereas the standard M5s are running Michelin PS4s.

I appreciate that Vic! - BMW did very well on this car...

swisstype · 08-15-2018, 01:05 PM

Those were some great posts! Thank you! Nice write ups and great car, but you already knew that.
I liked the video of you and the Corvette as well. Great add on!

I too feel that the M5 checks all the boxes for me as a DD. I live in FL so the AWD is nice in the rainy season. I have 2 kids so I need 4 doors, and this car fit the bill . Looking forward to more updates on your car as you play with it more!

I would have definitely preferred the PS4's...oh well - I guess I will be motivated to replace them...

Thanks for your response! You and I are on the same page - and I will be having a full professional review in the next few weeks!

Here's a detailing peek...the car is GLOSSY!

Lol - thanks Sam - like everything - it's fleeting. I am enjoying this car however - and so far it is looking like the best I have ever had all-round...
