F10 M5 Delivered! My impressions and photos

[Excello]

Nevermind the bashing Chris, some people seem to have a bad time coping with others wellness at times. Why bother posting something unpleasant on someone's thread who is an enthusiast and took some of his own time to write - politely, not braggin' - on a board of enthusiasts? If I come to bimmerpost I expect to read things like these, it's a forum made for people who own these type of cars. Ofc that I cannot expect some US fellows to grasp this since they pretty much give away BMWs in NA according to price lists I see, but for most of us around the world, BMW means luxury hi-end cars no matter what model you pick, hence this is what someone could call an upscale board! Actually, it's the second time these days that a thread on someone's garage tends to become a thread on the OP's way of life or what he does for a living, and it is such a narrow minded perspective on a board like this imo. So Chris, thanks for posting man, great IRL opinion.
And btw, I'm with nez: some love for the z4m, such charming muscle car

Belle brochettes de ///M Chris!

I see you don't need me anymore to take nice pictures of your cars

Hope to meet the new M5 very soon on the Swiss roads
I read your impressions on the french forums as well and can't wait to see how it is like.

I hate having to get into the drama like other forums but ...

This is a BMW forum, a forum to share our experiences with the F10 among like minded enthusiasts. The OP is 20 years old, what the hell does that have to do with the reason of this forum?!?!

I dont know him from Adam but I am thankful he shared some nice photos and feedback on a car that I may consider in the future, thanks OP.

ps. Love to see what happens with the M5 and my Hartge tuned 550i, let me know when you cross the border.

[fusion01]

Congrats man, envy and jealousy is so ugly but (in my case) unavoidable!

As to "But in both the 135i and the 1M, and even more in the 535d F10 (my dad had one for a few months), you feel that fabulous power at medium revs. And the M5 has it too, but twice as powerful. It's simply amazing."

Somewhat to be expected based on the immense fuel suck! I see on your nav a read-out of 4.74 km to a litre, the price you pay for such huge power. That would bankrupt me - I average about 8.5 km to a litre which I feel is quite heavy based on Euro fuel prices!

[bmwm3redblack]

Congrats man.Great ///M cars!!!!!!!!1

[Tam2990]

<3

[pjtoby]

What a great set of cars you have there! Congrats on your new M5!

[LemonOne]

Thanks Chris
It was a great write-up and thanks for the photos!

[auggiem3]

WOW. amazing. so jealous.

[mblandingt]

Great set of cars and great article as well!!!

[Dackelone]

Very nice //M fleet. Thanks for taking the time posting Chris. We all want to be in your (//M)shoes.

[Eno335]

That is one sexy BEAST!

[thinkbig]

if his dad accepted to give him a 90k car at age 20, that means that he is very responsible and mature; so he deserves it in a way. I bet you he is more intelligent and mature than some 30 years old here.

some of you at age 20 were total idiots and immature kids, even if your dad had all the money in the word, he would've never bought u a car that nice.

[delvek]

You are right, I was an idiot at 20 and if I had a new M5 I would probably kill someone, with that said, he is Swiss, if you think that M5 cost 90k US$ your waaaaaaaay off.

[Badboy8813]

so much win!

5...3...1... Happy New Year!!

Nice collection man I am up for adoption

In real live does it look more silver?

It's a rather bluish grey ... very nice in real live

The current weather here doesn't allow to drive with summer wheels ... :-/

Exactly ...

About 160k $ and even more



One more time Chris, congrats

See you soon for a Chivito Sandwich

[Falcon23]

Sexuals ass



Perfect to put the hot chocolate's glasses in winter





Love that M3 GTS



Debadged is the thing to do




Meanwhile another friend joined us for the shooting with his Interlagos Blue Z4///M.


What ? More photos !? ....

.... OK it's AM 2 o'clock, but I'm on holidays, so have time :P

Let's GO !










I hope that pleased you ...

Big THANKS to Chris

Beautiful machine, the silver is really striking! In my experience, it is easier to drift with Summer tires. Braking and handling will be dramatically better too. A lot of fun driving ahead, have fun and be safe!

I would like to hear your insight regarding the engine sounds being replicated through the stereo.

"Big Worm" should go occupy wall street. Who are you to say how someone should or shouldn't spend money they have earned? I drove a 2003 M3 at 16 and have driven a 997 GT3 since I was 21. The M3 was spat on, peed on, and keyed. The GT3 has been keyed too. Jealousy is ugly, and communism doesn't work.

Switzerland+awesome M cars= thanks for sharing
