Nice review!

The urge to go for it is stronger than ever now. Especially since a local dealer just got in the exact M5C spec I would've ordered down to the color combos. It's calling my name. That C&D article is calling my name lol

Only thing holding me back is concern that I'll have buyer's remorse for pulling the trigger too early and not waiting for a 2020 model. I know that 2020 is not an LCI and there likely won't be any major changes. But instant gratification now might lead to regrets later when stuff like laser lights and iDrive 7 start showing up on the 2020 M5.

Argghhhhhhhh.... what to do what to do. fw probs I know

I haven't tried laser lights yet but I doubt they will be much better in the US market than the LED as the DOT hinders all the functionality anyway.

Idrive 7 might be OK, I won't be a fan of the digital display. If they were to copy Audi then I'd be interested.

Review again makes me wonder why BMW doesn’t just put Michelins on all M5 ... does anyone really like the Pirellis for the F90 and why is it potluck as to which you get? Make it like wheels (silver Y spoke or black) and let customer choose tires too.

+1 picked mine up today & it’s awesome - the ride is more precise & for me nicer that the base F90 M5 as I found it too soft - comfort on the M5C feels like a sharper version of Comfort in the M5, that I didn't want to stay in as it felt “stodgy”.

The exhaust is perfect & a grin a minute in overdrive - plus the section of road/bend that felt a bit on edge in my F10 M5, was dealt with without any fuss & 15mph faster & accelerating!

Cant wait to finish the 1st stage of run-in !

Ps Pirellis are fine!! Just looking forward to putting Michelins on.

Pps Just v glad to get a 2019 car - no telling how much the price will increase if Brexit happens in UK !!
