One month and 2500km later those are my observations:

Looks: In my opinion, still such a great looking car! My favourite angle is the three-quarter rear/side of the car for sure as it’s a wagon, but full front is still a shocking view

How it drives: at first the car is very intimidating you really don’t feel the weight but you are definitely aware of the huge size. My last three family Winter cars were an 2021 Audi RS6 then a 2022 Porsche Taycan, GTS sport tourismo and then a 2024 Macan GTS with lowered suspension and definitely the BMW feels sooo big !

Some cars as my 992 GT3 RS have only one personality although they have different layers if you push, but still, the identity, presence and vision of the car is straightforward and clear, but the M5 is a different breed. There is so many settings that you can go from a very mild conservative limousine like ride and reaction to a complete monster, depending on the settings, but the nose doesn’t lift as much as the Audi RS6 on full acceleration from stop which is a good thing…. but now after a month the car starts to shrink around you as very good cars always do…

The moment you get to know more the performance, the reaction in the way it handles the curves, very good cars “shrink” in size as far as how you feel at the wheel and this is one of those cars. I can’t wait for the good season to come back here in Canada with the lower suspension and 22 inch wheels at four corners. It will definitely show an even different personality! stay tuned.

Great to hear, I am coming from an RS6 to G99 so it is interesting to hear about the comparison.

Neither … dark graphite metallic (or sophisto grey in some market) with a full satin ppf

OP is the definition of a “baller shot caller”

I think the touring is probably the one to get this generation solely due to its uniqueness within the BMW line up and who knows if we'll ever get another high performance touring or any touring from BMW again - that in itself kind of makes it a modern classic. Also, the touring looks a lot better with the current BMW design.

More and more great reviews coming out on this car make me want to test drive it. @Khoispring, would you say G99 M5 Touring > C8 RS6?

Look wise beauty is in the eye of the beholder so depends on you … for me a big yes
Drives more comfortably than the rs6
No turbo lag like the rs6
So overall a big yes !
A bit smaller in the trunk département though

Alright you have to show us your garage because it sounds like a dream garage to the rest of us. It's like my garage but amped up times 10 and sounds awesome.

That would be something if you weren't after just 1 month.

My garage is very similar to yours! It seems that BMW guys gravitate towards GT Pcars.

I also have a very similar garage. I think it's a bit narrower, but since i dont have neither Porsche nor any other nice M car, it doesn't matter i guess.
