I come to this conclusion after only a few weeks with her, but there is just too much power coming out of the rear wheels to effectively put it to the ground. Like most of us, I experience wheel spin at every turn, etc. Hit the gas at 40MPH, wheels are spinning all over the place.

For me, this car should be AWD and inspires little confidence as RWD. Yes yes, I know it's supposed to be driven like a man should drive it, but its still a 2 ton luxury sedan that most of us drive on the public road every day.

Why do I think I am going to hear it for this........
I agree, if porsche does it with the turbo and turbo s then I think bmw can succumb to logical engineering.

I love my M5 in 40 degrees or higher. Hate it anything below.

Bought a turbo s as my winter car!
