I've got a 550 on order.... But man... I'd really like to just get the M5... But it will be my daily driver. So.....

Who is using their M5 for daily driver (DD) duties?

What kind of MPG are you seeing? What can of range can you get from a tank?

Where do you live/drive?

Do you regret getting it for a DD?

Any other thoughts, experiences, comments, questions, etc... Please share.

Thanks.
Interesting topic. I use my M5 as a daily driver in Atlanta, and it works for me no problem. Gas milage is around 15mpg I only drive in M mode don't like the conservative versions not too lively. I also live in NY where I only drive an SUV ........cars here take a beating with the roads/nasty weather. I would never drive any sports cars here with these conditions even with AWD.

Sports cars in my opinion are fun with dry conditions, and a sunny day. I guess that's the LA native in me because it's a car show case because of the weather. So the M5 in my opinion is a DD depending on where you live. good luck.
