£90k entry point though!
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

I'd quite like a garage stocked with an M5 from each model over the last 30 years :D

Yeah it is horrendously expensive... :cry:

...but 0-60 in 3.1secs :evil:

And 4WD that you can switch to RWD, such a good idea, I know Mercedes does it too now, but why didn't someone think of it sooner?

I’m with you, I love the idea you can switch from 4wd to RWD. I’m hoping they might bring it out on the next generation M2

I wonder if they have made it 4wd so it will be faster than the X5 with the same engine.
Apparently the X5 was faster 0-60 than the old M5 and it was all down to how much grip it had with 4wd.

A brilliant machine no doubt but it just doesn't look very exciting does it ? Also, it's got almost as much ground clearance as our LandRover ! :D

I like an understated car, but in 2018 that looks actually quite dull and boring. Surely they could have flared the arches a bit more and done something a little more exciting with the bumpers i.e new z4 concept.... :thumbsdown:
