Getting back to F10 M5.
I sold my first 12' AW F10 M5, a year ago, june 2014... had it for 9 months since new, love it so much, it was the perfect balance between comfort and performance.
selling the 1M again on march, this week I found my self getting into a 12' Havana Brown F10 M5, the color is not everyone's taste,, but it is definitely mine.. the car had 10500km on it, it was ex-democar of a dealership.. which makes me worried.. my trustee brother test drove it (the car is located in the capital city), he understood deeply about M cars, he mention steering feels a bit heavier, car feels a bit slow.. brought it to an M dealer to check, the battery is down, it is diagnosed to be the one making it feels slow, because I believe the systems needed electricity.. having said that, they tried to charge the battery and everything goes good the next day, I had a deal to replace the battery before purchase. does this make sense and solve the problem? it seems to be? if everything goes as planned the car will be mine on monday. coincidently I have a track event on the capital next week, instead of having to tow my car 30 hours to the capital, I would just keep the M5 for couple of days there and directly track it next week, would be a blast.. track drive can really reveal what the car lacks (car condition)... as the car stays couple of days in the dealer, I am planning to give it an engine oil change, differential oil change... however I am not sure if the Transmission needed an oil change? well, the SA told me its not needed, but its just my thing. really excited to be back here guys.. it's been a dream for 1 year long to be back.

When F1x (M5/M6) came in, I thought we would miss E6x.
Now I'm telling you when Gxx comes out we will miss F1x... S63tu, DCT, Active M Differential... They are all fantastic...
