You forgot to mention - coming from someone who hasn't driven an F10 M5.

The M5 received overwhelmingly positive reviews - it seems to be a genuinely nice car. I think the issues with it are more generic issues with this class or type of car: hard to justify spending so much money on a car; a lot of complexity which is likely to result in headaches and expenses in the future; gas guzzling; high-performance capabilities which are largely wasted on public roads. People in the market for this car obviously aren't bothered much by these types of practical issues, and the M5 satisfies the things that they do care about.

Anyone else tired of hearing people refer to the 1M, X5M, and X6M as not true M cars?
These cars are all phenomenal. I had to listen to a colleague with an S4 explain to me how my X5M was not a true "M" car. I wanted to punch him in the face and then laugh as I left him in the dust. I had an E92 M3. The X5M is certainly an equal without question. Sorry for the rant..... |

Those look like Hnda taillights. I thought it was an Aura ZDX at first sight.

hahaha, I didn't say it was the best lookin thing in the world, but the performance is definitely better than a standard X6M, the sound is incredible, better than the standard X6M as well........not crazy about the body kit, but this was put together by Hamaan, so obviously someone paid a boat load to make it look this way so I doubt a boy racer could have afforded to do this unless he was a trust find child....The matte paint gives an interesting look though....

I have had bird droppings on my car for a few hours, but nothing more than a day. The frozen paint work is actually able to take that better than the glossy paint cos with the latter, u loose shine at the spot, making it very obvious. I have a few paint chips at the front bumper, but that is something no paint job can protect against. The difference between my current FG paint and my past glossy paint is that i no longer need to worry abt water and swirl marks and need not bother myself with polishes cos whatever I used to have to deal with in glossy paint, I no longer have to bother with them now.
