From what the forums provide, it sounds like a reliable car.
Have fun blasting doors off people when you pass them, and be aware that using your signal indicator may cause people out of jealousy to close the gaps you are trying to merge in.
It's the reason BMW drivers don't use their indicators  |
I had budgeted around $40,000 to add another car to our garage, and after months of research I'd narrowed it down to the F80 M3 versus the F10 M5. The M3 in many ways was very similar to the 1er, and my wife would not have enjoyed having only manual transmission cars -- I was not willing to buy the F80 M3 without a manual and the F10 M5 was almost impossible to find with a manual. In the end, the room, the engine sound + power, and the DCT transmission sold me. I've had the M5 for a little over a month now and don't regret the decision at all. I had to spend a little more than originally planned, but ended up with a 2016 year model with Competition package and only 40,000 miles.
Infact, added a Dinan exhaust to it this weekend, which immediately made me love the car even more.
