Can’t even say it’s faster than the M5 in the wet now!

Is that what Euromillions is tonight!

Like your thinking, M5 for day to day cruising and M4 CS for weekend and track day fun!

You know what, it looks really subtle in person! If it didn’t have the M5 badge (and wasn’t sat next to an M Sport t series) it could easily be dismissed for an M Sport 5 series for all but car geeks!

M4 CS on the other hand, about as subtle as a sledgehammer! Bloody uncomfortable to sit in too!

That grey M5 is nice but from front it does not look that different to the white 1..

I personally think g30, including new m5 is butt ugly, especially rear quarter/ rear. I would only consider new m5 if it will be released as a touring.

I saw this M5 at Stratstone Doncaster this week and I only noticed what it was when I walked past the back of it, like you say, very subtle. It got me thinking, do you really want a car that doesn't really stand out from the crowd when you've spent £100k ish on a M5 :

The F10 M5 is also very low key compared to some of its rivals, I like the stealth look but not a fan of the new shape 5 series.

That's probably exactly what the average M5 owner wants!

Agreed, BMW turning into Mercedes and Mercedes turn into BMW where M5 and E63 are concerned.

I looked at a C63s but it really wasn’t for me, much prefer the M4 Comp, however if I had the choice of New M5 or E63s I’d take the Merc

The stealth/ blending in would be a big plus point for me

M5 is pulling some astounding numbers in reviews too. It is an absolute beast now.

Everyone heard of a company called Ferrari...and their Enzo?

M5 is 0.1 secs slower in a Qtr mile at 11s vs 11.1 holy crap!!

Me too. Many years ago when I bought a new M5, I ordered it in dark green (Oxford Green) for just that reason.

Sycamore had some nice cars too today...

Apologies for the rubbish iPhone pics.

I want the m perf steering wheel! (£600 for the normal one, £1100 for the race display one inc fitting)

They had a big M car section setup

M5
M4
M4 CS
2 x M4 CP
2 x M3 CP

Wish I'd taken more pics. Never really been a fan of the G30 but spending over 2 hours around the dealer it's grown on me. Defo a contender as my next car now!
