Hi Folks,

My one has arrived. Photos by salesguy (Edit: Added some more)
As many have said, it’s a whole different ballgame in the flesh. Photos don’t capture it.
Cannot collect until Jan.
Lighting isn’t great and not fully-prepped.
I can see that I did not win the tyre lottery!

It looks fantastic.

Spec is:
Sophisto Grey
951M Bicolour
Red Calipers
Silverstone /Black interior
Oak fine wood trim
Driving assist pro
Alcantara headling
& Towbar!!!!

Counting the days!

That’s a nice combo! Congrats 🎊

d9hug · 12-09-2024, 08:49 PM

Congrats!! Looks awesome!

bigegges · 12-09-2024, 09:03 PM

Good for you 🙏

How different is this from Dark Graphite Metallic?

rlampare · 12-09-2024, 09:21 PM

OMG I know Exactly how you feel. You’re dying to get your hands on your straight from the factory mint condition BMW M5 lightning fast Ultimate driving machine.
I saw the photos of that pristine, gorgeous machine, the only Negative comment I can make is they clearly put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car… Yes, I am an American. Best of luck with your New Beamer.

Very classy color i sold one in this color and it was awesome. Congrats!

Scrapula · 12-09-2024, 10:06 PM

Very nice. Now you wait.

moriluvatar · 12-09-2024, 10:55 PM

Same colour just a different term.
I.e. Sophisto Grey in the UK whereas Dark Graphite elsewhere.

I have sophisto Grey and Ivory extended in the X4MC and it truly is a great combo.
The Sophisto almost looks to have green and pinks in metallics on close up, some heavy metallic in there.
The colour change in different light / sun is excellent. A moody grey to a dark shadowy black almost. Pops in sun too.

A friend upon seeing my X4MC recently ordered and took delivery of his 5 series I5 Msport in Sophisto and white interior. Looks real stealth and classy.

Ha, same with mine, it's at the dealership this week but delivery will be in January XD

Congrats to you too dude. What spec did you opt for?
Dealer’s pushing me for Jan 2 collection. I was hoping to wait until 3rd to let the reg numbers rise… don’t want a plate that’s too easy to remember!

Lol. Thanks bro, the wait is tough! First World problem, tho.

[It would probably make a lot of sense if ourselves, UK, Oz, Japan and the other small few remaining outposts for RHD cars made the switch.
I know one country did an overnight switch (can’t recall which one) many years ago.
Harder nowadays as roads, particularly Motorways/freeways have huge overhead gantrys with electronic signage pointing wrong way -were lane to be switched to other direction. They’d all have to be changed. Cost would be gigantic.]

The vernacular would be: “Well wear.”
(The sentiment being that something works well or lasts for the buyer. )

Thank you!

maenuuu · 12-10-2024, 11:47 AM

Congratulations on your new M5!

Theres no tyre lottery on the M5.
You have to order the "sport tyres" to get the Michelin Pilot Sport S 5.
