Quick Update


Took her out today for a quick drive (now has 40 miles on the clock)

She's Bloody amazing...i feel like a king. Forgive the obvious statement "completely different kind of engine delivery with the Turbo's". Between 3 - 5k rpm it feels real quick. I remember thinking how slow my M3 was within this range (M4 should be mental i guess).

When i start the car the noise is sweet - not loud or throaty, just full and powerful. Cannot wait to hear her on full chat.

The Interior is like walking upstairs on BA flight and turning left...simply gorgeous.

Any initial regrets - Yes, should have paid the 3K for the B&O system, as the H&K might be lost in the M5's additional space.

I will task myself to do a proper comparison in the near future - who knows it may help somebody.

I drove past the stealers today and saw the arse of my ex SB M3 sticking out of the valeting bay...a weird feeling for sure, both sad and happy. Whoever gets Helga will be proper chuffed i thought to myself as i pulled away from the lights...proper chuffed as i am now in my M5.
