M5C Delivery

Hi all,

I ordered a M5C back in October, received the car on Saturday. As I’m sure many posters on here, the 2-3 month wait makes you analyze your build daily and wonder if you made the right decision. I knew when I ordered the car what I wanted without a doubt, but during the wait I started second guessing if I should have gone a different combo vs What I ordered. Stick with your gut.

Well....one of those things when you know, you know. This thing is sick.

Congratulations OP on the beautiful car. You cannot go wrong with Donington - one of the few colors that looks good all the time (regardless of medium, lighting, etc.). As an added bonus, I see you won the Michelin jackpot.

Very well said. I know I made the right choices but still find ways to question them. Then I add in the fact that with the M5C the different choices all add up to varying degrees of awesome.

Enjoy your new wheels!

Welcome to the club, I have my donington with similar specs two weeks ago and I still go into the garage to check on it before I got to sleep every night. Love the combo, congrats and happy motoring.

Yes, couldn’t believe it when I walked in the showroom on the Michelin’s!

Also, hadn’t seen Donington in person on a M5. I was between Donington and Brands Hatch, my previous car was closer to Brands Hatch. What ultimately got me to Donington was taking the color tile samples at the dealer around the showroom and brought it outside in the sun. Phoenix is sunny year round, and I felt Donington was electric anywhere you put it especially in the sun. One of those colors where it just fits the M5
