Dark Side - King
Finally turned in my M5 but decided to get a 2018 M4, comp, exec, DCT, mineral gray metallic.
So far, I like the lighter feel and handling. Hard to say about the power delivery since it only has so few miles. May need to investigate the new flash tunes. The new M5 might be in my future but will wait for the bugs to get worked out! Dave |

Great car, great color, enjoy!!! I did with my 16 for almost 7 months. A tune will open her up big time and be prepared to actually pull some M5's from a roll (not the F90).
I just had one issue and that was the sound and while the ZCP does fix most of it, it still gave me some heartburn. My thoughts of course.

This is my car on the dyno- tune only on 91. Not stock F10 numbers but the car weighs much less.

And the gains in the usable rpm ranges are stout- these turbo cars dont sit at the higher rpm ranges like my R8 or GT3!
Thru the normal range there are gains of almost 100 tq and 80hp... thats meaningful.

Thank you for the kind words and advice! Quite honestly, this has been the most mature, respectful and good natured forum that I have ever been involved with.
These are truly exciting times to be a car enthusiast, especially with the advent of obd flash tuning availability. Dave |

King is King. Not a great car but good enough for 80K or so.
Although you will definitely miss the power of S63tu (still I'm missing) but there are many thing else worth to consider M4 as a replacement for M5/M6... The most important thing is the handling and controllable(usable) power/torque especially with CP. I can easily turn off DSC all day even in rainy days and still have full control on car.... The thing was nightmare with M6

But I'm sure many of us will have Gxx(M8) in two years

And I would like to know your experience with launching the M4 of course after break in period. Basically M5/M6 have much more torque but they are heavier too. I Believe with short gear ratio of first gear, you would have lots of wheel spinning right?

I believe you are right about the wheel spin at launch but I need to play around with the settings to get it figured out (and get a few more miles and get past the 1200 mile service). Dave |

The problem with King is that it is more of a Rodney King than a King of Kings.
