What...gentler... more approachable... no fury...no attitude....no fire...no brimstone? WTF?
I'm happier than ever that I got one of last true M5s.
I owe my decision to talking with BMW's Larry Koch.

Glad you made the jump Lee, we have the last of an icon, there will never be anything to match its overall capabilities, the mighty S85
