Yes i have driven it twice. In the few mins i spent with it both times all i could think was ...the new m5 is going to be ridiculous lol

Didnt get to do too much cornering with it but straight line this thing is fast. As for the exhaust if you like mean burbles, then this thing will not dissapoint.

These rims are lame. I like the 668 more.

What color is this one? I'm filling out my order form now and not too happy with the available colors. No individual colors listed so far.

Congrats on your preorder.

I'm considering it myself as a replacement to my beloved 540 M-Sport.

I agree on the wheels thought. They look like, what I call, SUVish type of wheels. I haven't gone through the Configurator yet. No other wheel choices available?

Agreed, it needs a lot more aggressive wheel/tire set-up. Still interested to hear about performance and driving experience.

Hmm, I was at a BMW dealership,...Marlow Heigts,...could have swore there was a G30 5'er on the showroom floor with those wheels. Though I could be wrong!

It looks so good that means the new M5 is going to be a BEAST!

No sign of it in the U.K.

(And before anyone says there is "no market for it" please don't bother, I see enough fast Audi Estates on my daily journey with S4, S6 and RS6 badges)

I still don't get it. Old one was 445hp, new one 455. Torque is the same. Trans is the same. New one is lighter by 50-80 lbs (at best). No way it will achieve 3.9 seconds 0-60 vs F10s 4.3 seconds. Unless BMW really, realy, really underrates new engine.

This car makes the M5 irrelevant.But I'm happy. That's why I picked my M235. The M performance models give the customers a 95% M car at 2/3 of the price.
