Hi everyone,

Disclaimer- These are a quick impressions. I have not had much seat time and roads are still $hit here in NY and cold so I have not tested the handling aspects of the car yet.

The car sits high. I personally am not a fan of that and lower all my cars. It felt a bit tippy despite the CF roof. Or perhaps I'm used to tighter and lower CG cars. My M6GC was lowered and already I can feel that it was less tippy, albeit lowered ride height and low roof line to begin with so unfair comparison.

The tech inside and the appointments are sublime. I'm very happy. Looks amazing at night in the cabin. Wow!! Big step up BMW, well done.

I hate the 9 iron shifter.

I am not too thrilled with new tranny. I already miss the crispness of the DCT. I understand why BMW had to go back to conventional TQ converter transmissions, but I prefer the feel of a DCT. It's not bad or anything, just a subjective opinion.

As some of you may know, the car is de-tuned for break in. I suppose there should be a noticeable difference after the 1st oil change. However, it's still fast as hell. I can't imagine what these will feel like after a tune and DP's. I rolled into it hard at a light till 60-70 and it's an animal. Head was planted into the headrest...Daddy like.

The ride is very very smooth and it's very quiet in the cabin. The car tends to lean more luxury than performance IMO

So like I said, I need more time but I'm happy.

I had an E60, F10, and M6GC... I didn't like the F10, I liked my M6, but still the E60 M5 I miss. It's sad ///M had to change course due to emissions and the HP war. The E60 was more visceral IMO and fun, plus the sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! This car is vapid in that regard. (Turbos are mufflers that make power)

Wow nice! So jealous.

Not this again....the de-tuned before break-in service? I thought that was a urban myth? I certainly did not feel a difference after break-in service with my F80....and my dealer confirmed that was crap....when that rumor started a few years ago.





Looks great, btw!

Where have you buy black kidney grill? It's g30 stuff?

Thank you very much... You could be right. The dealer told me this, so I assumed it was true.

Yes, I just had to have something to replace it immediately. I hate chrome. I also changed out the hideous orange reflectors.

Congrats. Looks awesome. I have the exact same color combo.

Can you take a pic of the seats?

I hear you! I have my body color reflectors sitting here at home...first thing I ordered from IND. Just waiting for the kidneys and side grills to come in stock....and will get those done as well. Always my first mods with my Bimmers...as well as 35% ceramic tint all around.

Damn dude! Been a long time since Iv'e seen you around! Congratulations!

9 Iron Shifter, that's hilarious! First time I've heard that one. Lol!

Thanks for your thoughts. I find your thoughts to carry more weight since I know you've been there and done that. That being said, your sentiments about the E60 M5 never rang so true. A deeply flawed car, but damn that sound! Miss it so much! Hence my plan to get another E60 next, and then maybe a G90 M5 in 2024 assuming that they actually get rid of the S63 engine next time. I'm also looking into getting more electric cars in the future along side my M5's. So far the new Jaguar I-Pace seems awesome. Can't wait for the Porsche Mission E though. That way I'll have my high powered turbo car, a V10 car and an electric car. A good combo I think.

Please post more pictures and thoughts when you get a chance.

The car would look so much better with tints. NY recently came out with another scheme to steal money from people and put people out of business. No tints allowed unless 70% (which is pointless) You can't even get the car inspected if you have light tints. Plus, the cops will break balls for it too, so I don't want to be bothered with the BS

Hey whats up buddy. Thanks for the kind words.

Electric will certainly be the way of the future. The myriad of gains is irrefutable. However, to me, theres nothing better than a high revving screaming banshee NA engine. It's not just about speed for me, it's the overall experience and the audible aspect is a huge part for me. Thats what's missing from the newer M cars IMO.

Hold onto your NA ///M cars ladies and gents, wait 20 years and they will be highly sought and valuable.

Great looking car and interior--- Im a big fan of lighter interiors but rarely get them.

Congrats !!!!

great looking interior--is that Smoke White?

It looks more Smoke White than Silverstone, but I thought that only Silverstone had the black center panel.

That's the Silverstone interior. The individual interiors don't have the black stripe down the middle of the seats.

What is the headliner made out of? I had alcantara headliners in most of my cars but not sure what is in this one.

[RPiM5]

Yeah dude you are right. That wheel gap looks crazy. Are you sure the dealer didn't forget to take off the shipping blocks? Lol!
