I was very excited to have a chance at a m5 wagon, but as the weight numbers came out, I realized this just wasn't going to be the fun car I wanted. Yes it will be straight line fast. I had a stage 1 sq7 making 700 hp, it was straight line fast and handled well, but it still felt heavy and reduced some of the fun. So I ended up going with the g80 M3 which is more closely sized to older m5s, and feels more lively.
Though for those who do like it enjoy!

I remember in the lead-up to the g8x release, BMW put out a video of one of their engineers driving it around, and the guy mentioned how agile the car was. Knowing the weight figure, you can imagine the response here to that comment… yet here we are…
C&D had great things to say on they first drive. I think this will handle better than most are expecting. Sounds like it has a shitload of grip and a great front-end like the g8x.
