New M5 delivery.

So, havent been around alittle while due to stupid home wifi..

took delivery of my new pre-lci M5, alpine white last 3 days..
its a very comfortable car, big and practical, the 1M feels very brutal, slow, rough and hard ..

the M5 really did its job well on keeping the comfort, i really like the idea of being fast with a lot of space, and in BIG size..

does anyone here feels the same with 1M, how "slow" it is compared with the M5,

had to catch up with the break-in period soon, so will not drive the 1M around very much.

will upload pictures soon.

Nice. Congartulations.

I think the 1M feels relatively slow in comparison because the M5 has at least 200BHP more. Stock vs stock.



I remember > 10 years ago I had a new 184BHP /390Nm E46 330d 5MT saloon driving on the Autobahn heading for Switzerland, when a new E46 M3 occured in my rear view mirror. I let him pass and told my co-pilot(lol) let's see what my mighty(..) 330d will do vs the M3...

From 70-130 mph... Within a few seconds the M3 just was a small point @ the horizon. And still my 330d felt rather fast

Cheers
Robin

My dad had the F10 M5 & I do drive it occasionally then I jump back in my 1M & whilst it does feel slower it just feels more raw & more engaging to drive which I love. You have the best of both worlds with these two cars! Enjoy mate!

Yeah makes perfect sense on the HP difference there, not to mention the torque..

Congrats on the M5! What you describe is similar to how I feel about my S6 (big, fast, luxurious sedan). Wouldn't call the 1M slow, but the S6 is so smooth and effortless in it's power delivery, I love the contrast between the two.

Delivered under the cover of darkeness ;-) Nice ride!

I know what you mean about feeling slow. I drove a 2013 GT500 for an afternoon a few weeks back. The next morning I got in my 1m and honestly thought something was wrong with it at first. It just felt so slow in comparison!

F10 M5 is an autobahn cruise missile as it was always been the intention with them (previous and actual M5s). Take a mountain pass with the 1M and then with the M5, you won't feel the same, that 1M is any slower; probably you will feel the opposite, that M5 is too big and heavy and slower in reactions. 1M is not engineered to be a highway warrior. Having both in the garage is a priviledge.

Indeed a Autobahn cruiser...Sold my 135i months back to my son..He had the experience of "trying" to keep up with a new M5 on the highway a few weeks back....Well i thought his Cobb Tuned 1 was very quick but as he found out the M5 blew him away...He was mighty impressed to say the least. Yea, there fast, real fast.

it is infact a missile, it really gave me confidence on overtaking eventhough knowing how big it is, the power in this thing is just wild. yeah its a totally different car, the 1M is small and so easy to handle.
