kms. If I had to describe the M5 in one word I would say the car is bipolar. At
comfort settings the car feels like driving a boat on the the road. However at
sport settings or even comfort setting (if you drive aggressively) the car will
transform into a muscle car. Bottom line I love the car and have no regrets over
choosing it over the GTR. Love the gadgets, the feeling of driving a boat in heavy
traffic or when feeling lazy, having 560 horses when wanting some fun, and the
comfort of seats and luxury. However things I don't like about the car is with
DSC engaged the car's back will swerve if accelerating fast, I would have liked an
AWD trans on the car similar to a porsche to better stabilize the car after sudden
acceleration. Also you can feel and experience the power and beasts under the
hood of the car of however this feeling is not translated with the exhaust note
(hoping akrapovic exhaust will cure this).

Thanks for the honest review. How is the steering feel? They have dampened the sound of the exhaust in this M5 to give it more of a luxury driving experience and instead routing "prerecorded" exhaust sounds through the speakers.
Congrats on your car! It is beautiful!
