Video review of the G90 M5

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hey guys

I haven't done one of these in a while but I've put my weekend with the G90 M5 into a video. I'm not going very deep into facts, stats, and figures (or not at all). Instead I tried to make a fun video combined with driving impressions. If somebody prefers the literary approach, the article's here: https://g90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2156087

Hope you guys enjoy it.

Excellent video...great job!

I suggest you add a link to the above video to your original thread (maybe, at the top) - readers of that thread would benefit from this overview after your detailed review...

Woops, I must have been high. I think I wanted to write my WEEKEND WITH THE and I must have mixed it up. I apologise to all who thought it was my car. I managed to state it correctly in the linked article but apparently after making the video I subconsciously wanted it to be mine. Sorry.

M5s don’t have gas flaps on front fenders right?

This has got to be the best video for the car to date. I love your style! Also love seeing a nicely used dirty snowy car with winter tires in all it's glory. Great content!
