After going to pick up my step dad from exeter airport today from where i live it was straight to the BMW garage to collect a BMW M5.
After 1.30-2 hours of driving to the garage we arrived, my first thoughts were "my that car is fugly!". After my step dad had signed all the necessary papers and been shown all the in car computer gadgetry we set off home.
I was trailing behind him most of the time in my festa, i told him to stay with me and for good reason!
I have only known about this since today and mate, this thing is fast!
Once we were at home we relaxed for a bit then went out for a drive!
This thing pulls, pressed the M button straight away to add the extra 100 horses, its really weird for something this big and bulky to be as fast as it is!
My step dad before this had a Porsche Carrera S 997 and that didnt feel as fast as this in all honesty! It may be that im not used to it or the constant acceleration that doesnt stop i dont know but it is very nice!
The acceleration feels different to the porsche, with the porsche you had gaps of fast acceleration with gear changes but with this is your constantly rammed into your seat with the sides of the seat hugging you as you go round corners because of the semi auto gearbox, you can change the ferocity of the gear changes with the touch of a nob, we instantly put it to the fastest gear change which i wish i hadnt as my back is hurting now its that fast!
The gadgetry is amazing, the doors that shut automatically if pushed extremely lightly, the garage door opener built into the rear view mirror, the seats with about a million different movements for ultimate comfort all electric, the dvd player, the windows that change to the amount of light like those glasses do, the M badging is stunning!
Step dads driving to portugal with me in it on friday, he lives down there so only get to see it there unfortunetaly
Heres some pics below, dont slate me, just wanted to share this.
Ill get some proper ones pics tomorrow when its light out!
EDIT- Better pictures on page 2 and 3
The obligatory shot
The money shot
M badging
Interior front very nice leather seat.
Interior rear
Interior isnt that white, flash is very strong!
This is no doubt the nice car i have ever been in!
As i say ill get som proper pics tomorrow when im more with it and have better light.
Thanks for looking!
