Nice! How did the M5 handle the abundance of twisties?

the LCI LEDs make the car look so aggressive coupled with the comp height adjustment. Looks great!

Better than my e60, but with some loss of feeling.

Cool on the handling. Was the loss primarily in steering feel? Engine/exhaust sound (or lack thereof)?

A little bit of both. I definitely miss the S85 howl. There's not much like it. The low torque band took some getting used to compared to the high power band in the S85. It's definitely improved in the power delivery and I'm pretty sure I was able to go faster, even on my first time on the dragon in this car.

Found a couple of roadside vids. You only need to watch for about two minutes on each. They start just before I drive by with a Porsche and two Vette's.
