Nice motor Alex, best of luck with it. How does it compare to the E60 if you've driven one of those before?

Would like to know how it feels vs the CSL. Less special I would assume but very torquey.

I keep seeing this car on a weekly basis in london, widebody Hamann M5

Congrats Alex - looks awesome!

Thanks guys!

It is a fantastic vehicle. Its very comfortable for every day driving or travelling. Then you push a button and it transforms to a beast.
It is very fast and handles very well especially considering the weight.
The feeling of the steering is very good. Throttle response is epic - there is no lag whatsoever.
The chassis feels very solid, there is no flex.
A fantastic car.

Comparing with the csl...
Well in some way it feels similar as its a bmw with rwd. But I dont think the two can be compared.

Comparing with the e60...
I was always of the opinion that the e60 m5 had the engine of a supercar on a limo. This combination doesnt work well due to the lack of torque. Not to mention here that you had to have your own oil refinery to fuel the e60 m5. Also the design of the e60 makes my eyes hurt. I never liked the e60, the design, character and way it drives.
I think the f10 m5 is many times better than its predecessor.
It is everything an m5 needs to be, luxurious, good+smart looking, fast.

I'm still of the opinion that the F10M5 could beat the E39M5 as the best saloon BMW have ever made.
