Huh? That link takes you to UK TopGear, not the bastardized version we have here. How many Americans would call a car "chuffing excellent"?

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.
