Oh man! I like Jeremy but that review sucked big butt!!! What a whiner about iDrive. Glad he thought it was better than the F430 with the ///M mode tho.

Clarkson pretty much bashed the New M5 but admitted when one pushes the "M" button the engine produces 507 bhp and then praised the beast as better than a F430 at more than half the price!

As said, the amn is a buffoon at times!

For heavens sake - he even started saying nice things about a Vauxhall, which had no chassis balance or controller iin corners whatsoever.

Shame really - but when you hear him slag something that you know and believe is really good off to a high degree, it makes you wonder about his prowess as a journo on ither models.

Some one who don't know so much about cars, may think that new M5 is really so bad car!

I downloaded the video and I was really pissed off. Then I thought about it for a second and realized he was going for a comedic factor. Being a TV show I am sure he was trying to increase ratings and draw a lot of attention to himself. He bashed the car until the near end they claimed it was the best ever. All I have to say is ratings.
