Former owners

I'm beginning to miss her, it's been almost a year.

Per desertfox73's excellent suggestion: what are you driving now?

I just took delivery of a Sapphire Black 2016 X5 50i M-Sport. I originally put in an order for an X5M but cancelled it to wait it out for the LCI.

Sold mine last july. Missed the power, not the squeaky brakes, hard ride and excessive oil consumption

I may come back for the next gen m5, pending on what are being done to this badge

Suggested addition to thread: what are you driving now? I'm always curious to see where people migrate after M5.

Those aren't nearly as annoying as the "drop the anchor" brakes when coming to a complete halt and the car starting in second gear from a stop in automatic mode.

I still have the M btw... Not a former owner.

was going to MB E63 wagon (test drove a E63 sedan instead for reference) but no stock in Canada at all. Either wait for special order for about 3 months time or get something else ... in the end, I got something else. Porsche Macan Turbo, although not in the same league as the mentioned but it will do for couple of years before I go car shopping again in summer or fall 2016.

Sold it last month, and grabbed a 2015 M4 convertible so far the only time I missed it when my kids came to visit when we went out for dinner. M5 great car, just wanted a smaller car and the GT3 solves my speed fix!

About to return mine. Will I miss it? Yes. As much as I missed my 2007 550i sport 6mt? Nope. I think the F10 is just too expensive for what it is, too big, No 7 train squeaky brakes and did I mention it was too big? M4 6MT is next.

Don't really miss mine. Beautiful car, but way too heavy and some annoying issues like seat cooling that does not get cold, 2nd gear starts, lack of differentiation from a standard 5 series, etc.
