Good morning,

New M5 owner here. Purchased a new 2016 M5 in September. SG with Sakhir Orange. Ordered it in July and drove off the lot end of September. Once I heard they were going to stop making the M5 in 6MT, I knew it was time to get one. Love the car and color combination, and I give a shout-out to Paul Lunde at Yark BMW in Toledo for the suggestion.

I had never driven an M5 before hopping in the car to drive off the lot, and I had only seen 1 f10 M5 in my life. Haha. My other car is a 2011 535i 6MT, which I still drive when temps drop below 45 degrees (it has snow tires). The transmission on the M5 is so much smoother, and the throws shorter. I always thought my 535i was pretty zippy, but it obviously doesn't compare to the massive power of the M5. The smile it puts on my face each time I cold start the car in my garage makes the purchase worth every penny.

Regards,
Danny
