Wonderful review. I like this guy and his no fluff way of presenting. The CS is exactly what I want it to be, except for the sound. The MPE seems to have fixed that.

Thanks for sharing.

400 US, 25 Canada

Harry's garage mentioned that his source said about only 1100 were made worldwide

This review was very much the same as the 30 or so before it.

Is the 400 figure after the 1100 adjustment?

I felt it was a little better than most. If nothing else because he didn't get the list of colors it comes in wrong and properly nailed its distinctions. The real bonus to me comes in that he correctly highlights that you can get CCBs on the M5/M5C and that it's BS for BMW to include that difference in the stated weight savings. 😂

He's got me interested in looking at review of the Project 8 now since he fawns over it. It doesn't look terrible either.

Can't take the man seriously, despite his motoring history.
His previous review of the M5 comp was very poor.
And will he never shut up about his crappy Project 8 car.

Yes. US appears to have had received all planned allocations, other countries did not

I think Harry is a late to the shilling party, but BMW appreciates his services nonetheless.

Love a CS review as it's a peach.
I do agree he bangs on about the P8 project car a bit too much now.

Didn't realize how exclusive these are. A military overseas sales agent here in Germany shared he recently sold one to an Army Civilian returning to the US for the standard 10% off MSRP, who then immediately resold it once in the US to a dealership for a $70K profit. The guy called the agent from the US and said he wanted to order another one! Agent had to tell him it doesn't work that way, and I don't think there would've been another allocation even if he could.

I was just getting ready to comment on this. I can't take any man who says his Alfa and/or his Project 8 is better the the M5 CS. I mean everyone is entitled to their opinions but he's taking two cars that have horrible reliability issues over arguably the best all around car made.

Yes, if you are going to add a review of the M5 CS now, please bring something new to the table.

Bearing in mind that the reviewer is in the UK.
The project 8 is a road legal, track orientated, left hand drive car with stiff suspension on semi track tyres.
I can't imagine anyone who is in the market for an M5 of any flavour is also thinking of a Jag project 8 as an alternative.
I lost faith in Harry with his original M5 comp review where he had clearly no idea how to set up the M5 and instead negatively compared it to his Jag.

I like his reviews and his opinions are his. He relates to the cars he has as would anyone

I think they are presented very well, very easy to listen to and I find I watch his videos even if it's not the sort of car I have an interest in ie his Lamborghini countach having repairs undertaken
