The pull from 120 km/h up to the speedlimiter, is just breathtaking 
The car hits the limiter in 6th, with more revs to go.
It doesn?t matter if it?s downhill, flat or steep uphill - you are hitting the limiter in notime

Have you considered having the limiter raised? Apparently my car is now good for 170mph - it's just a shame our roads here are not! It really would be a shame to have a diesel catch you up after you'd left it for dead 
Awesome car - very belated congratulations from me. Saw my first close up in a dealers yesterday - very very tempting!

Sadly, there are no delimiting devices out yet!
It?s very frustrating with all these diesels, catching up on you all the time you brake due to traffic. <_<

Ahhh... but the joy when you leave them behind again when the traffic clears! 
I'm sure they enjoy it too - if only for the noise!

Instead you have the M Mobility system. You can order a spare if you like - then you get a front wheel ( 255/40-19 ) that takes up almost all trunk space

M Mobility system = small air kompressor and sealant to " repair " the tyre, so you can get to the nearest tyre shop and buy a new tyre!

Cidair,
Despite having read what you've written about how great the car is, I couldn't imagine what a fantastic car the m5 really is. The car is beyond words - it made me laugh outloud of sheer joy.
Congratulations!!!

Every morning I wake up, I have to dash down to my garage and look if it?s really true - that I own a M5
The car is so enjoyable to drive that you never want to stop driving.
Still haven?t checked out all setting, closing in on 10000 km

[/quote]Yes it is true! We have here 7 girls for 1 man!! But since some men are gays today we could consider 10 for 1.
But I really think that ride a M5 is much better!!
