This is a first generation turbo ///M. It's not going to be perfect. I would wait another another one or two generations before they can get it right. In the mean time, buy up the last of the non-turbo ///M cars. They will be classics...

Turbo lag? How could the M-Division release this icon of a badge out without first resolving the one thing to which everyone would be hyper-focused?

I thought I read somewhere that there was no turbo lag? Or was that another M model or another BMW. Gotta find the article now.

The biggest problem I see with this car is the fake engine noises. This perfectly describes what BMW (and ///M) has been doing lately. Before, they made fun of Mercedes for using the same engine in every car and Lexus for having fake exhaust tips. Now they're making an M5 that has a fake soundtrack from an engine lifted straight from an SUV?
Quoted directly from the article: "I'm complaining that the S63TU engine has so much more lag than the non-Valvetronic S63 did." |

Bottom line, if there's not exhaust flow, there's no boost. I'm guessing the S63 has larger turbo's than the N63, so they'll take longer to spool up too.

Not every review is going to claim the M5 is perfect. There may be some kinks to work out. But overall it's still a very bad ass ride

Exactly!
We want honest reviews, not kiss ass bullshit right. We wants to know this car pros and cons, surely you can't really know what your personal opinion might be in the end, until you have some miles with it. But to have an opinion of a car, you need to look at X amounts of reviews, and not only the ones who praises it. This M5 is not prefect, nothing really is, but it should be a hell of a car, if the M badge is on it, besides the F10 is a great car from the start, no wonder the M version gets good reviews imo.

best steering M5 yet?
wasn't there another article that said the F10 M5 steering was lacking, as in it wasn't in touch with the road, except when maneuvering, but felt lazy in a straight line? I guess it is subjective on the driver and who wrote the article. and then there's this... Quote:

Yes, in Autocar UK and that pretty much sums up the feel of my F10 535d's electric steering.
