New M5 on fifth gear now

C177

VBH loved it but she seems to be saying she prefers the E60.

Yeah, quite a good review actually and exactly as i felt it behaved.

I've got one sat on my drive right now from my local dealer on a 24 hour test drive. The performance of this thing is epic but it's rained and snowed since I've picked it up!

It rides better than my 5 touring with VDC and it's commical how it will demolish a line of traffic but half of me thinks it's just too fast for the uk roads. Full throttle and you are hitting speeds that will give you an instant ban in a few seconds.

It's great fun though

Apparently it didn't give her as much 'aural' pleasure as the last one...

As much as I liked the section on the car, I could help feeling that with an M5 being such a masculine car, having her test it wasn't as good a having Tiff drive it accross Europe as he did the E60
It may be an underlying sexism issue I have when it comes to cars, but I just don't think she did such a fantastic machine justice
