Detailed review: |
First I just read a review of some guy that wrote about a 2007 M5 stating how it does not handle ect ect...
that guy by the way does not own a new M5, he has driven or own a regular 5 Series E60.
This is my second M5, I had a 2003 M5 which I fell in love with while I had a SL600, and Lotus Esprit Turbo, that M5 embarrassed both my other cars, and I was crazy about it, after a year I sent it to Dinan and pumped another 75hp out of it. in a nutshell that car was a hotrod, it felt like I was driving a Barracuda and everyone around me was in a Prius. (it just was not fair to the other cars)
When I first saw the new 5, I did not like it, I thought the M5 was attractive but not the rear, hated the interior, and hated the V10 specs, the I drive, and no Manual, because I am an 8 year racing school veteran, I am die hard fan of Manual.
I first drove the M5 2 months ago when I was about to replace my s-class for the New body S550, there was an M5 there I drove it and left with it, never thought I would by one. but here it is, if the last M5 was a hot rod, this one is more like a Jet, considerably faster because it puts all the power on the road like nothing you have ever seen, kind of feels like a Ferrari F430, but with slightly worn tyres, the precision of the steering is unbelievable,
and the shifting, I dont care how fast you think you can shift this will shift 2 gears before you can pass neutral,
very addictive, overall a tottally different beast for a different Generation, truly impressed |
