Finally joined a V8 CLUB

LORDLODOSS · 03-29-2023, 09:48 PM

Been wanting to get a fun and sporty V8 for 15 years now. Figured if I don't do it now then I'll be too old to enjoy it. Was originally looking for a 2019+ C63 but after some research decided to go all out and get the big boy.

The biggest surprise to me is the size of this beast. I had some big cars before, 535i and audi a7 but this thing seems much bigger. Looks larger than my tesla Model Y. Had it parked beside my current ride, audi s5 and it makes that look like a toy car.

Looking forward to possibly meeting some of you guys.

Congratulations and welcome to the family! Nice to see you come away with one after seeing you doing research and posting on the forum. Enjoy it in good health!

Thank you very much! I am planning to stick around for a while, with the M5 there is not many options left to upgrade to. I will say that in terms of interior, it is very high-tech but the build quality is still not quite at the same level as an Audi, even when compared to my lower class s5. Most of the buttons feel really good but it does not have that crisp clicky sensation. The Interior ambient light tube has tons of what appears to be internal cracks. The BW audio metallic cover/grill feels rough when you put your hand over it. The aluminum speaker grill cover on my audi a7 was buttery smooth. I guess you can't expect perfection.
