F90 M5 Competition

[Blue Mk8 Golf R]

I picked it up yesterday it has done 30,000 and it is brilliant so far

[V 02]

Beautiful car. Enjoy.

Lovely, but you’ll need to change your username

So much more understated than an RS6

[Terminator X]

Most mental car that I've owned so far

TX.

Thank you I am keeping the Golf and review the situation in 3 to 6 months if I keep it

You see that box with white lines you've left the M5 in? The idea is to....

It's a bit bigger than the Golf in fairness.

That looks a superb car; great colour too

Well spotted I thought I would get feedback on the parking

Out of curiosity how does insurance compare to the golf?

[Blue Mk8 Golf R]

it is close thing because when you go sites for quotes the Golf R are cheaper but Admiral slapped on an extra £ 500 for the golf due to where I live they get stolen or crashed more
I am on multi car policy that ends in May so i will have clearer picture then

[Its Just Adz]

Lovely, proper car.

[JAMSXR]

Lovely, and even more desirable thanks to the new one.

A wheel upgrade or colour change would not go amiss.

Currently owning a Golf r myself and having kept a few fast saloons in the past I'm quite interested in a comparison of the two cars. I think I've probably gone the opposite way to you OP, from big fast saloons to fast hatchbacks and I'm more than happy where I am now. I wonder how different our experiences are!

I am keeping the Golf R for a while I was looking at choice of cars and M5 has cost me 60% less compared to the other cars i was looking at 911, Bentley GT ,or Range Rover

I was amazed at what great packaage the M5 is and performance very good

I went Golf r and full fat RR. Couldn't be happier. I've done the super-saloon thing though.

[Blue M5 and Golf R]

Just an update very pleased with M5 so far
Only issue happened on Sunday a pigeon decided to play chicken with M5

It looks like just the plastic grill is damaged no bodywork damage thank goodness I will go to the local dealer on Thursay to get quote to fix it it will need the bumper to come off though
