Before these sort of cars get outlawed..... Bit of M action

[edo]

Collecting next week. Only done 2k and a nice saving off list.

560bhp and 680nm from 1500. It "goes ok".

"Jammy Git" springs to mind

Nice interior, Ed. Cayman order cancelled?

Thank you. Yes. Still no build date and I spent 10k less! #manmaths

[Hammerhead]

And 8 is better than 4!

Looks lovely is that Imperial blue? I couldn't decide when picking mine between it and Singapore grey, I opted for grey for stealthiness but sometimes wish I'd been a bit more bold! Health to drive I've yet to see one on the road.

Tanzanite Blue. Kindly specified by the first owner at a cost of 1k.

[joscal]

I definitely haven't seen one then! Looks great 👍

[anonymous-user]

Loving that.

[bmthnick1981]

This kept me going while waiting.

Lovely! I went in one 5 up and couldn't believe the performance levels!

They have made the M5 look quite stylish and sleeker than the old model. Doesn't look so much an old mans car now.

Holy sh*t this thing flies. I wouldnt be surprised to learn it had more than 560hp (as I read many do). 680nm from 1500 just means it's always there too. Keeping licence is going to require serious restraint!

Very nice looking in that colour combo, I'm a big fan of the smaller 19" in anthracite - would set off the car very nicely - maybe for winters? I don't believe it's unusual for these to make 600/620hp from the factory.

What a world we live in where 19" is the 'smaller' wheel option!

Love the motor by the way

[edo]

Thanks. Certainly would not have paid for 20s if i was specifying it myself! 19s with winters is certainly something I am considering.

[joscal]

I'd love a set of 19" for winter too but can't justify the cost. I just get a lift instead as the traction is absolutely pathetic.

Well done that man. Looks perfect.

I spent a morning down at Goodwood driving these when they were first released. Mind blowing is the best way to describe it. How something this comfortable with five seats can be this fast hand handle so well is a modern miracle. On the circuit it was all far too easy to forget it's size and mass. The standing start on the pit straight was quite astonishing too.

As you can tell, I was impressed. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I would.
