Probably the best car in world, delivery of M5

[adamt]

Here are my impressions after 150miles,

Incredibly surefooted,
Suspension dampening superb
You can spend hours tweaking all the cars dynamic settings.
Looks really good in black(imho of course)
Bigger than the e39(see pics)
Much faster, really fast car, havent nailed it or been past 5krpm but it has serious potential.
Gear shifts are intoxicating, downshifting is a joy

Its awesome, only gripes so far are that we cant find somewhere to put the house keys where they dont move around and annoy.

You lucky lucky man! Enjoy!!! Please use it to the full extent of it's capablilities

[v15ben]

Awesome car, hope it gets used fully once it's been run in!

Any plans for the Nurburgring?

[speedychrissie]

hey adam,
it looks really nice in the pics.
so when am i gonna be able to see it in the flesh? (we still need to sort out a track day for the summer!)

ive just realised that i have double booked next weekend (you thought you might come visit), as i am meant to be going to watch southend fc in the final at cardiff. so we will have to rearrange, and you will have to come see my house in the summer.

ps, we are in the process of moving from newbury aswell. we are buying a house just outside of exeter.

pps, enjoy the M5

Dont take this the wrong way, but yes I agree it does look much better in black, perhaps because its masks some of that 'challenging' rear end.

Nice motor though, hope you enjoy.

You really do make life difficult, Adam: has there ever been a 650bhp E39 M5?

You utter bastard, well done. I'm so far beyond jealous it's a sort of mid-turquoise!

I look forward to cementing my feeling towards this frankly staggering vehicle in a few weeks' time...along with every other gobsmacked gawper.

Possibly the first time a family saloon takes the 'Most Coveted' trophy at a Brunter's sesh, what-oh?

[Zod]

I have a test drive coming up in the next couple of weeks. Can't wait, but I will wait for the car. I've only had the CSL for six months and there is a lot more enjoyment to come from that.

Lovely car Adam.

I even like the wheels.

[dazren]

Adam. I think I should amend the title of this thread. Having been out in the car on saturday afternoon "probably" should be deleted. It has to be the finest allround car for sale today. When you take into account the price I'd say it's great value for money.

I hope the new E60 serves the "T" family as well as the E39 has. I like many look forward to seeing the car again at VMAX where it can let rip in the PH manner.

I think it will do really well at Vmax, am hoping for the fastest 5 up(why do 4 when you can do five? )

Veeery nice Adam.


Is body roll positively excluded from the saloon party?

Gorgeous, and I never though I'd say that about a bangle.

Took the words right out of my mouth, never thought i would say it either.

Dont know about body roll, strict breaking in at the moment.

[fq400]

Stunning car - enjoy! If you're taking it to a trackday tell us I'm sure half of PH will come down to take a look

[rich1231]

I have to say that the looks of the thing dont send be spinning to a dealer like i expected. Im not saying its ugly, just that its not as distinctive as I expected except from the rear, where Eurotunnel must be concerned that trains might take a wrong turn up the exhausts.

It's very stealthy.. But Im sure it goes like a rocket.

[adamt]

It does have a lot more presence in the flesh, my picture taking skills are somewhat lacking

all the best
