I bought my M5 2 months ago. I finally have the super car of my dreams in my Garage and I am very thankful for such an opportunity to have the best. I just won't be very happy when my neighbor pulls up his driveway with an M5-S or C or whatever in a couple of months, making me feel like I drive a 528. I thought only Infinity added alphabet letters to make cars seem faster. I was under the assumption that M5 is the "be all and end all" I think BMW should retrofit all 2013 M5s with new Grills, technology, exhaust, etc free of charge for our loyalty.

I would like BMW M to simply put multi-piston calipers all around instead of just the fronts. This Competition package was a great opportunity but no can't do.
If they can go the extra mile, effort and money to put synthesized engine sound via the damn speakers when that is technically irrelevant and absurd then, what is the freaking problem with a proper BBK all around in all M cars? The $100,000 M car price mark has been passed long time ago. Carbon ceramic options are here and going to be available as well in the M4/M3. Sliding calipers do not belong in any M car. |

1) MY10 (the 3rd MY) lasted all of 5 months 2) The E90 LCI was introduced in the second MY of the E90M's production, so that was no different than the M5 LCI. And the changes for the LCI E90M were greater than they are for the F10M LCI. Products receive constant iterations. Lamenting the fact that something better is always around the corner is akin to yelling at the sky.

You can retrofit all the parts. It won't be cheap -- especially not the steering updates -- but it can be done. And enterprising vendors will find ways of flashing the programming for the software updates for those that want it. I did the same thing with my E92M when the LCI and Competition Packages came out.

so the they added power, albeit a patheticly low amount, and kept the same wheel/tire widths?
we're traction limited to begin with FFS!!! |

The M5 should be driven more sideways. Otherwise you might as well have gotten a 4WD Audi/Porsche/etc with much more traction on offer. |

I would be pretty ticked my car is already a dated version missing some refined performance software that BMW should of included to begin with. I mean, they should at least offer the software upgradable components as a option to current owners for a minimal labor charge or free. This is after all a $100k car. |

Lots of interesting stuff. No doubt if I were ordering a 14 I'd opt for the package and then promptly order new wheels. I'm not upset over the fact that I own a 13 without the extra 15hp and other goodies. I realize that 2014 is the 3rd model year for the M5 and upgrades are expected. What will upset me is not being able to "upgrade" my 13 with some of these components. BMW needs to make the package components available in the M catalog for us early buyers.

So the Non Competition package equipped car would only get the new grill and the new steering column?I hope they made the stick a little better.The present stick looks horrendous,even my 135 has a better looking stick.I have a feeling they made a sloppy job with the stick[just putting the one from the regular 5 series].
aaaand.. those rimss...Not fan of them.The spokes should be wider.They look like blinged out after market rims. |
