I spent another month or so looking, and found a 2023 M5C in black with Silverstone interior, and loaded to the gills. BW sound, etc.

I’ve had it since December, and it is a beast of a car! I have not been able to fully open it up… I’m sure if I did I’d hit 100+ in 6s…

Anyway, very happy with the car. The F90 is dead, long live the F90!

Nice!!! Congrats & Enjoy!!!

Any chance you can post a pic or two for those of us (like me) with M5C envy?

if you can afford it the M5. you wont be disappointed.

If you loved your old 5 series, don't get a 3 series, you'll just be disappointed. Agree with lots of others on this thread, go for the M5!

M5 LCI is sexy and looks much better than the pre LCI. Please post pics!

Winter tires are on it… will be putting the summer wheels back on in a week or two. The wheels that come with the competition package are pretty sweet. These oem winter ones… meh.

Had rock hit the windshield last week. Good thing in MA it’s covered under insurance with no cost. I checked with the dealer and they want to charge $2K for it, mostly labor costs. Had to get extra approval for OEM glass from insurance, but they gave it.

Better the windshield than the body though…

Friggin Beautiful Ride!!! You made a good choice!!!

Exactly @ better the windshield than the body. I had to keep reminding myself of the same when I got my rock hit that scared the $h!t out of me.

THAT, is a gorgeous freaking vehicle! I totally dig this generation of the M5, not a huge fan of the latest gen boat that this has become.
If you EVE decide to sell for any reason, please hit me up

, but other than that, wish you many miles of smiles!
