How are you getting on with yours?
I’m hoping to explore the performance this summer with some road trips including the NC 500. Did this previously in a Caterham, so will be interesting to try in the M5 and with the family onboard too.
Getting on great. Its now done 6k miles so feels like its loosening up nicely. (placebo probably)
It still makes your head go light and wooly when you give it some from the lights so I'm obviously not doing that enough and its still impresses pretty much EVERY drive.
I'm hoping to get on a driving course like the one Kindai did at millbrook.. The handling still surprises me on just how much grip there is, And I'll really like to know where the limits are, but on a normal road you seem to be going at prison speeds and still nowhere near.
We've been planning our european road trip. Last two times have been in an X3 then an X5 so the M5C wont be as comfy but will hopefully be more fun. Tour of spain. Then hopefully a 2nd trip to explore the Italian lakes and the Dolomites.
The only negative with the car that I can find is the lack of sense of occasion. It can be very 5 series'ish. But thats what its supposed to be.
We did part of the NC500 as part of the Running in mileage. Picked the car up from Glasgow and managed to do 3/4 of the mileage in a few days before heading back down the North West.
Fuel economy can be Shocking. I filled up last week and the range said 209 miles...... £115 ouch. A couple of easy long runs later and another fill up showed 376 miles. Thats quite some %% difference... But you don't buy an twin turbo 4.4 V8 with an unofficial 650-700 bhp for the economy.
