New - Traded in RS5 for 14 M5 CP

KMORGSM5 · 02-08-2016, 03:55 PM

This weekend i removed the amber and the carbon filter, also put in a BMC air filter. Can hear the turbos a little more. I am bringing the car into the dealer tomorrow as a CEL came on over the weekend, i swung by the dealer and he said it was a bad o2 sensor that they are going to replace.

This is the 2nd case of someone upgrading their rs5 for an M5. They really are different cars, one is awd the other is rwd; one is a sedan the other is a coupe; all I can say is you won't be looking back.... Btw the side mirrors are pretty useless just hit the gas and execute an Italian lane change....

I am looking for an M6

in replacement of my RS5, yet I couldn't get my hands on one for a test drive.

Oh see who is here... welcome to M6 family buddy

And yes you will have hard time to get traction and put that massive torque down but you know what?
this is name of the game: FUN

I was following an M6 vert the other day, didn't seem to have much trouble in taking-off briskly, maybe because of the extra weight of the convertible?

K, finally got the file size down so it can be uploaded.

Well if you are fine with Convertible, then you will be fine with Coupe since Coupe is only 250 lb lighter... but wait... did you test drive the car with DSC ON or DSC OFF? or MDM??.. with DSC ON car can't take off the way is supposed to be

I didn't test it, I said I was following it, and the M6 was jumping off the line quite nicely.
