  • Suspension--Sport Plus
  • Throttle--Sport Plus
  • Steering--Comfort
  • On day 1, I kept traction control on. Day 2 I used MDM mode.

As we all know, the car is big…really big. I was the only F10 M5 there. Actually, I was the only M5, period. What the ///M engineers have done with the F10 is truly astonishing though. The balance is amazing for its heft and it really does just shrink around you when pushed hard.
How did you, or your instructors, feel about the car's body lean through the corners? Did they think added sway bar resistance might help that heavy car? The heat may have been a big part of the reason you demolished the tires so quickly. Great write up, good information and the pictures just added to the enjoyment! Thanks for telling us about the adventure.
