First to set the stage: We drove '13 M5s from the BMW Performance Center with obvious hard miles on them vs '14 M6GCs brand new and with CCB brakes. In my opinion the M6GC was more communicative and 'slightly' better at driving hard. They also had a slightly lower cG and felt like less roll. Although others in the CotA thread had differing opinions. I'd venture a guess that a '14 M5, especially one with CP would handle and feel just as good as the M6GC, or better with the CP. Oh and I FINALLY got my M6GC session online here. 3 laps and hitting speeds up to 146 mph on the back straight. PS: we also drove the M6GC around Austin. It's a great daily driver (as is the M5 I would assume). https://vimeo.com/76832480

Every M car is supposed to be the pinnacle of its standard counterpart, (1,3,5,Z etc) but that doesn't mean that they can't be improved upon. It's better than BMW not taking a second look at the M5 again! Past M5s never received any mechanical revisions to the extent of the F10. Look at the E46 M3 ZCP, CSL, E92 M3 ZCP, CRT, and GTS! BMW develops these cars because there are always lunatics trying to go faster For 90% of the population, the "base" Ms are plenty.

The journos rightly praise the steering enhancements that all LCI M5/M6/M6GC models have. The GC specific praise is unfounded, at least from a performance perspective.

Interesting point of view. Then why have options? Why not only offer the car fully loaded?

Options permits access to a much wider consumer base. On what basis does an individual argue against options in any environment? One size does not fit all. |

For some reason the US automotive press isn't thrilled by the F10 M5 but most of the British press seems to like it (except the douches at Autocar):
IIRC, Steve Sutcliffe liked the F10 when he reviewed it a couple of years ago. Last edited by Mperial; 10-17-2013 at 04:32 PM.. Reason: ... |

Sorry. My post was in response to Nickblack's post (#88) where he argues CP should be standard and folks who don't want it all should buy a 550. Hit quick reply instead of qoute.

More importantly, the german press loves the M5.

I suspect that some of the comparisons of the F10 and F06 (Gran Coupe) favoured the F06 because they did not compare like with like. The F10 had some mods to the steering that improved it with the face lift, the F06 has in effect always had the improvements. Many of the 'F06 is better' comments were made comparing the new F06 to the original F10. Also, many of the press F06s were fitted with Carbon Ceramic brakes, these were not available when the F10 was introduced, which significantly reduce the rotating mass, improving performance and ride comfort.
The F06 is slightly softer in comfort mode, similar in Sport/Sport+ to the F10 comparing like for like (CP or no CP). |
