One month and 2500km later those are my observations:
Looks: In my opinion, still such a great looking car! My favourite angle is the three-quarter rear/side of the car for sure as it’s a wagon, but full front is still a shocking view
How it drives: at first the car is very intimidating you really don’t feel the weight but you are definitely aware of the huge size. My last three family Winter cars were an 2021 Audi RS6 then a 2022 Porsche Taycan, GTS sport tourismo and then a 2024 Macan GTS with lowered suspension and definitely the BMW feels sooo big !
Some cars as my 992 GT3 RS have only one personality although they have different layers if you push, but still, the identity, presence and vision of the car is straightforward and clear, but the M5 is a different breed. There is so many settings that you can go from a very mild conservative limousine like ride and reaction to a complete monster, depending on the settings, but the nose doesn’t lift as much as the Audi RS6 on full acceleration from stop which is a good thing…. but now after a month the car starts to shrink around you as very good cars always do…
The moment you get to know more the performance, the reaction in the way it handles the curves, very good cars “shrink” in size as far as how you feel at the wheel and this is one of those cars. I can’t wait for the good season to come back here in Canada with the lower suspension and 22 inch wheels at four corners. It will definitely show an even different personality! stay tuned.
