First World Dilemma
I currently drive a 435ix modified to around 390hp. The car is enjoyable and fun. Unfortunately I made the mistake of driving an M5 recently...now though I enjoy my car, I'm looking at an M5 very hard.
Does the 'grin factor' ever lessen, or normalize? I'm afraid a year from now I'll look back and wish I hadn't traded mine for the M5. Has anyone here had Buyer's remorse? I live in a place with four seasons. Will I regret not having an 'ix'? Opinions... |

I'm about to go from M4 to M5 and wonder the same. I feel that my M4 is much better looking but the M5 will be a much better car all around.

Far superior car all around ? faster, angrier, more comfortable, etc. The grin doesn't stop, I just was sad that there was no 2017 because I wanted the new iDrive. |

Two words! DO IT! You will not regret it at all. Every time I drive my M5 which I owned for about 2 years now and 16K miles it put a smile on my face.

I still have a huge grin after 10 years getting in my E39 M5.. I still remember my test drive of an F10 M5 2 years ago.. If i could swing it I would, but these twins aren't cheap

Nice I'm looking forward to seeing your F10 M5 soon P.S. Fast400 I have a question: There is an item that can be found in the BMW M5 Germany spec brochure: https://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&r...27521224,d.dGo It's an item called: "Control Display, 6,5" hochauflösender Farbbildschirm" I guess it was referring to this small 6.5 inch screen that is available for BMW M5 F10 cars in Germany (and possibly some other countries)??? I know that the 6.5 inch screen is standard equipment in Germany (unlike in say markets like the UK or USA/Canada wherein the 10.2 inch screen is the standard unit). Are there a number of M5 F10 cars in Germany that have the small screen? |
