Sometimes in life things ARE worth the $!

Yeah, a “bucket list” purchase- never thought I’d be able to own one, and it delivers almost 100%! So fun to drive, so secure. The i drive system is in my opinion the most intuitive and least intrusive. Not having to reach and touch a screen is great. I can pick some nits, tho: there are too many settingswith no real difference. I put it it comfort and let it go. The seats are “ventilated” but not cooled, and the massage function is weak. But these things are greatly outweighed by the decent fuel economy, the great range afforded by a big gas tank, a pacing cruise control that is very convenient, and a feature that lets you drive hands free for short periods. Surprising how just this little pause from holding the wheel is so refreshing on a long trip. Every car manufacturer today bundles the good stuff in a manner that you have to pay a lot and get a bunch of stuff you may not want however i do think in this case it was money well spent. The carbon brakes were horribly expensive and are very grabby until warmed up a lot, but they never show surface rust, keep the wheels clean, and stop better than expected. And all this tech probably saved my life and definitely the deer’s life that was in the middle of I75 at 0400 by allowing me to avoid it. It jostled my wife who was asleep in the back quite a bit tho.

Traded in my 2017 Challenger Hellcat on this 2018 M5 so I have some experience with ultra high performance cars. Here in Denver the Hellcat was a nightmare when the temps were below 60. The M5 has all wheel drive so the power delivery is so much more controlled. I wouldn't want to drive the M5 in the snow but when the temps are low and roads are dry it makes you feel like you're totally in control.The M5 is a little smaller and has four doors so you can put people or groceries in the back seat and not just your racing helmet. Interior materials and comfort are better and the sterio is way better. It's been a year since I posted this review and since then I hit a deer in Kansas last summer. It was a tremendous impact causing 25K in damage but the car handle the impact incredibly well. Was doing about 65 MPH at the time but the car continued straight as an arrow. Not even a hint of loss of control. Unfortunatly, the deer didn't fare as well. There still was a piece of it hanging off the car when I sent it to the body shop.

The car provides a very high level of performance, decent fuel economy, and a whole Lotta fun. I’ve driven at 500 miles and averaged just under 20 miles per gallon. Not bad for over 600 hp.

I have owned this car for about 6 months now. Great car for tooling around town, or taking to the racetrack. Best car i have every purchased. 617HP at your calling, all wheel drive, great fuel economy, and room for 4 adults. How can you go wrong?
