This is not a car that is built as a pure race car... it is built to be an extremely good family cruiser and a decent track machine if one wants it to be. It is no way a track car because it is extremely heavy and far too large to really be one. With that being said; I think she is scared of this car and doesn't have the skill to drive it as well as the last... I think the 150 lb-ft of TQ maybe doing it.
The old high revving V10 was nice but it was in no way a proper fit for the M5, while quick, the car did not and will not have the wow factor of thrust when the pedal is floored when compared to the new twin turbo 8. In addition; the fuel economy of the old one was absolutely abysmal... In other words you are gaining far too much here and losing very little. You can improve sound a little by fitting a proper exhaust but if you go take this car for a drive and later hop in an E60; you will be more than disappointed especially given the amazing gear box this car has. This was a review for Tiff and Vicky messed up... having driven the old V10 a few times in many situations and having driven a tuned 335i for the last couple of years; the M5 was way overrated minus the sound, this one certainly fixes that.

Completely wrong in my opinion.
1) driving an M car for few times is not like owning one. When you own it, you willfeel different
2) can you tell me what is the different between M5 and 550i then?
3) do you really think she didn't know how to drive this car? Really? Lol
