After one week with the M5. . .
I can report the following: If BMWs mission was to build the best daily driver in the world that turns into a ballistic missile at the touch of a button they have succeeded. Nothing else comes close. Absolutely bloody fantastic car. As a middle aged fart with money I am the target market and they have delivered the goods.
Only two things this fart wants and have been reported on by others. Some type of sports exhaust button (or even a volume button for the friggin synthesized sound which I sure as hell can't hear) and a better sound system. The aural quality of the car is quite sweet but subdued. For daily drive it's perfect but when you want to unleash the beast within it would be nice to be able to turn up the volume! Same with the stereo sound system which is ok but not up to the calibre of the car. Unless you are a boy racer do not let either of these things deter you from buying this car because it is otherwise outstanding. |

I drove the Panamera Turbo twice and never got comfortable in it. My brother is coming over with his new Panamera S tomorrow and I will see if I can warm up to it!

I have not heard it myself, but from what I have read on the forums, it's not worth it. If you can listen to it prior to ordering I would recommend it. I will be passing on it. I'm younger, I'll be listening to things like Jay-Z and Kanye. That ish cray!
