After watching the vid the wheel gap is fairly reduced on the Competition vs. Standard. Do you think a further drop is in order? Or is the .22” drop on the Competition sufficient? However, spacers are definitely still in order.

Very subjective question.

I've already ordered KW HAS for my M5 Comp as I like less wheel gap than the Comp suspension will provide. I've also decided on 21" wheels that will be ordered this week and will arrive before the car does.

Went KW HAS on both on my F10 M5's and love the ability to really dial in the suspension.

My concern is the spring rates. The Comp has 10% stiffer springs than the standard M5. I asked IND for spring rates on the KW HAS and they didn’t know. I don’t want to get the KW HAS if their spring rates are less than 10%... some of the reading I did alluded to them being matched to the standard M5 spring rates. Also... KWs are only .8” lower at the lowest setting and that’s on the standard M5. It will lower the Comp the same .. not counting the .22” it’s already lower. In other words, max total drop on the Comp will only be .58”.

Agreed on the spring rates but I don't believe they're matched to standard M5 springs.

I'm going 21" so .58" will be more than enough as the bigger wheels even with lower profile tires will naturally lessen the fender gap. The KW adjustability will then allow me to dial-in a good balance of ride height / quality.

This adjustability is what makes the KW HAS great; typically I'll adjust a 2nd time after the springs have settled.

Dealer called me yesterday about this new arrival. Stunning, This will be my next car, I will trade in my 16' Escalade which I will miss because of its versatility but I am smitten with this COMP M5.
120k with a 10k AMV.

The wheels aren't as impressive as the 666 obviously but they probably were developed to save weight although just a theory.
120k with a 10k AMV. (I would pay MSRP, no higher) MBB will work for me but will draw unwanted attention for sure.

Is that Vista BMW in south FL.

Just picked up my car on Friday. Some pics below from before leaving the dealership. Car has a partial wrap, ceramic coating and 35% ceramic tint for the back windows in these shots. Next step is to install the body color reflectors this weekend that I received from IND.

Looks freaking phenomenal! Congrats!! I ordered DG as well. Been going back and forth on the Black verses Silverstone full leather. The build is currently w/ Silverstone and I'm still a little torn.

Thanks! Very happy with how it came out. I was also debating between the Silverstone and Black. In the end, I thought that the black interior fit the overall look that I was going after better, especially since I went with the 706M Black wheels instead of the 789M Comp specific wheels.

I got a chance to see an M5 comp and an M4 GTS side by side at my dealer. What an exhaust note they both have. The cars are basically threatening to tear out of the parking lot like a rocket. Folks could hear them from the level below lol. I nearly got the car but decided to hold off for my azurite allocation. this one is BSM and looks amazing.

Does anyone have any clear pictures of azurite black with the carbon fiber roof? Just want to see if it stands out at all or just blends in. Placing my order next week!
