I usually adopt the "Bell Curve" when reading reviews and not pay too much attention to the extremes of positive or negative. But, with the pics and comments provided this was a refreshing read. I don't know when this was written, but it's nice to see that the platform isn''t in trouble from some of the M5 sales figures posted and other comments I've read elsewhere. Thanks for posting.

The performance of this car is obviously OVERKILL for Japanese roads (you will know this if you do Google Street View of Japan). Just keep the car in "D1" or "S1" and everything else set to "Efficient" and "Comfort" and that's more than enough over there.... Here's a PDF from BMW Japan on the M5 F10 LCI (dated August 1, 2014) http://bmw.co.jp/jp/ja/_imported_ext...fin_090814.pdf You can purchase a base car (which already includes a Harman Kardon 16 speaker sound system, 552 Adaptive LED front headlamps, etc.) then you can add various options such as: -ZCD = BMW Connected Drive Premium (includes BMW Driver Support Desk, BMW Remote Services and other BMW Connected Drive Services such as Gracenote, etc.) -7MA Competition Package is also available (with choice of 601M or 343M wheels) -2NK Carbon Ceramic Brakes are also available All JDM-spec M5 cars for the Japanese market come with -VICS = Vehicle Information and Communication System (道路交通情報通信システム) module. You can learn more about it here: http://www.vics.or.jp/english/vics/index.html and -ETC card slot =) Last edited by Blackraven; 12-06-2014 at 05:49 AM.. |
