Sadly yes RajG and it started out that way but degenerated into dimming completed for minutes making the back up camera useless!

I don't mind the Long ass hood so much. At least it's shorter than the 6 series. Lol! But yeah funny that you say that about the HRE's and BBS FI's. I know way to many people who have them. Lol!

Personally I would never change the OEM rims as i find them gorgeous.

Look at RPI's M5.. It looks amazing

It shifts before my brain is ready for next gear or even chassis is ready for the next beating rather than gear -

I hate the most about it!!
Well that is a hard one and NO it is not that Navigation was flickering and had to have it replaced by the dealership when the car has just 7k miles on it (I forgive you BMW and I am willing to take a lot more than this before I am an upset M5 owner -

Well I hate that for the first time in my life after at least 20+ cars I feel that I AM NOT IN TOTAL CONTROL BUT RATHER THE CAR AND I FEEL IMPRISONED AND CAN'T HELP TRYING TO SUBDUE IT AND TAME IT over and over TO NO AVAIL!! - SERIOUSLY! ! Anybidy feels the same?!! This car belongs to the Autobahn period and if in the US then tracks and it shouldn't be a DD as it is a Super Wolverine car disguised in the sheep's clothing!

And I know why -
It is because way before the Power Surge is done or you get to hit the car Torque or HP ceiling like when on 4th or 5th gear way above 100 or already hitting limiter when car is not pushing that hard any more then probably it is probably less fun and just a matter of trying to achieve higher number but no more Bull PULL or Ecstatic Surge!
But to hit it really hard on the highway and way before you hit 3 digits you have to Take Your Foot off the Gas Pedal!! GooseFraPpaa (Anger Management like) What a disappointment and I would liken it to And Excuse my French like trying to stop your Org***!! Very similar indeed!!
I need to take it to the track ASAP!!

Thanks for sharing you deepest M-experiences - this is good. Like the comparing with the lovely 750i - makes me understand.
I feel the same, the car is a battle - unlike the rest of the German cars in the league. But the battle keeps you in focus, and you need to do all the basics right. Slow in - fast out, keep the car under pressure in light oversteer. Try to get it work in MDM mode, and increase tyre pressure a little in the back to prevent understeer. I drove the car at the Nurburgring last weekend

and I found it challenging to plan and hit the correct line, in spite of that I know where the line is. After some laps I was able to keep the car a little bit more under constant pressure and oversteer, and found it a bit more sharp and predictable. I felt it quite awarding to take this challenge that this car is. I had to push myself to conquer this car, and I`m not done yet. Looking forward to read your next post - you lucky CP owner.

Weight, size, artificial steering and turbo lag. Other than that, it works
