Carlo yes the M5 is crap compared to this drivability wise, i never said otherwise the the M5 V10 was crap driving around town!!! Two totally different cars, this thing just GOES and the M5 you had to really stoke up....BUT you cannot deny the BMW V10 engine is the best in the world but no good in a 4 door saloon
Cant say about fuel consumption yet, but i am hoping for more than a 12mpg average!
Also Carlo the estates are rank! Any estate is IMHO, the only time i will be getting in one is when the hearse picks me up!
