Hey all
First of all I'd like to say sorry to Spiroman for the 4 days delayed post, we've had some internet trouble :sad1:
But - it's here! The mighty M5, and it really is mighty! It's sound is phenominal, especially when you accelerate. And we got the sunroof option too so it's extra nice, sunroof is a BIG recommendation.
To clear one thing up, the cold engine start isn't diesel like, it's brutal! When the car is parked in the garage and someone starts it (not me, as i'm not old enough to drive it, but will be soon
) it says WROOOM and little heads starts showing up in the surrounding windows... It's really great, only a tiny bit of diesel-like in the front end.
And then there is the automatic, works fantastic aswell. My dad finds it very good, you just have to set the mode for your driving mood. D1 = Lazy cruising, D3, D4 = more aggresive driving, and if you want to go real aggresive, you just press the M button
We've only rev'ed it up to 5500 rpm (ok 5600 once, my dad missed the counter) but it still pulls very good (no kickdown or full throttle). And we were surprised to see how many heads turned. But mainly that's cause of the sound, it is really great..
The navigation works fine too as we tested it towards Lund, Sweden today, no complains there. The only thing we are still working with is bluetooth, but i'm sure that won't be a problem for much longer as we are visiting the dealer tomorrow.
We have around 500 km on the clock now, strugling to get 2000. But it's tough with only 165 km/h on the highways and all the police :sad1:
Any question about what we think of the car so far, go ahead and ask :cheers:
Now enjoy the pictures, though i can't post the ones with plate on because when i edited the pictures the program said this picture can't be saved.

Looks like a rent car with that key, we just haven't had the time to replace it yet :blabla:
