F90 M5 walkaround video

Enjoy.

For me the V10 engine is still the best...

They're missing the F10, or is the reason because the two cars share the same engine, so doing an exhaust comparison would be just silly?

Exhaust notes aside, I do like the color on the F90 M5 in that video. I could probably get a good nights sleep in those F90 M5 front seats too, they look so comfy.

Total bummer that you must disengage the traction control entirely to get 2wd.

This is crazy. You want to be able to say you have 2WD, but don't want to risk going backwards into a ditch?

Product planning at BMW is so strange: you can basically custom set everything from steering to damping etc, but no option to choose the most important aspect: how you want your RWD settings to be.

I believe this car should be RWD by default and become AWD when traction demands it... Another thing, I still can't get over the single sliding piston caliper for the rear brakes...
