Recently drove my '11 GT3 to local dealer to test-drive an M5C to get a perspective on how its rides compared to a hard-core 911. My GT3 is stock except for exhaust. Simply put, I was astonished to discover how the M5C felt firmer and stiffer in terms of ride quality compared to my GT3, over small bumps, expansion joints, poorly-maintained roads filled with shoddily-repaired potholes. And this is despite the M5C's plusher seats compared to the carbon fiber shell race-style bucket seats that are in my GT3. I was quite surprised how much stiffer it felt compared to the base M5 I drove a few weeks before. Like many have already mentioned here, the suspension tuning transforms it to a totally different car compared to the base M5. Perhaps the stiffer suspension has an exponential impact (pun intended) on the M5C's sheer mass. Over small bumps and road imperfections, my GT3 just felt smoother and crashed less. Based on this experience, I may go with base M5 as there's no need to own 2 cars that will challenge my spine But damn, the exhaust on that M5C though.... what a beast!

I had the prior M5 non comp. It was fine as a daily driver. I did not test drive the regular F90 M5, only the comp. I had concerns about the ride as well. It felt fine. Definitely not the 7 series kind of a ride but it was comparable to my old non comp M5 which was perfect for longer highway cruises.
To me personally the comp looks better with the dark inserts on a lighter color. I wanted something else other than black this time and the defuser, the mirror, the carbon top, and the grill looks great on marina blue. This will be one of the first cars in a very long time for me without a sunroof, because the carbon roof looks great as well. As far as the extra HP, I could care less. But the exhaust is very sweet and the lower ride looks better. Again, my opinion. There is a decent incentive for the non comp. 4 or 5k I think. Nothing for the comp. So if I were to lease this as I usually do, and go with a sapphire black as I usually do, I might have done the non comp. The non comp looks elegant in black. The comp is a bit flashy. If someone wants a non flashy car, which is what the M5 supposed to be, the non comp is probably the answer. In black with the basic wheels most people will think it is a 5 series with sport package. Not so for the M5C marina blue. But this blue is just so beautiful that I had to get it. I also plan to keep this car just because I feel this might be one of the last not hyper modern interior, al iPad dash, hybrid, etc M5 they will make. I could be wrong. But I think this will sit in my garage for good as a 3rd car eventually and as such I felt the comp was the more memorable of the two. |

I went with the Comp. Really like the looks of the upgrades. I test drove both. This car has a fast acceleration and not jerky at all.
