m5 f10 first 2500km
Short feedback on my m5 f10 after 2500km
Car is used as my daily summer driver, so every day use.
Colour alpine white is probably not the best choice for stealth look, but i can drive it to some clients, without to much of problems. Still black or grey probably would have been better for stealth look
the pros:
almost no turbo lag, compared to the cls 63 pp or pana turbo, witch i both test drove. That is probably due to the turbos build in the V. You hit the pedal at 2000 rpm in 4the gear and the power is right there. Surprised on that.
Power, seems to be there, vbox messured at 2200km 100-200 kmh in 7,9 secs (mods d3 and sport plus), and yes i dont have a factory press car..
Cockpit lay out, very clean and logic to me, every button were he belongs to, (compared to the pana turbo witch reminded my to the cockpit of my twin plane piper azteck, just to much buttoms to press for my taste)
head up dislpay mutch better than the old on and ajustable in hight (much better than the old m5)
Sound wise i like it, active sound i could never hear it (looks to me most people are complaining witch havent driven the car, or want to bash somehow the m5. Happely tast are different (by the way sport auto liked the sound of the m5 also more than its competitors specialy above 5000 rpm...)
Seats and nav and stereos looks ok to me, nothing to complain there. (but i am also not the one plaining around for ages, donwloading emails etc.
the cons
Steering feels syntectic, and somehow to hard, i am always in confort mode, sport or sportplus doesnt make sense to me.
dampers could be stiffer even in sport plus mode for my taste / start stop function, so useless / to much settings of power and stearing wheel
Short vedict, even with the cons i can recomand this car and would buy it again. Next step will be a tune, somewhere around 650 ps should be likely with ecu and better cat/exhaust.
But im mot sure if i will keep it after the ff arrives, but this desicion has nothing to do with the quality of the car, it is more related to garage place.
Feel free to ask more question if interested in the new m5
