Finally took delivery of F90 M5 CP Donington Grey

ericdad · 09-15-2018, 05:20 PM

We placed our order in early June, the car was built next month and we took delivery of this amazing car a few days ago. It is night and day different from the 2014 F10 M5 CP I used to drive. Everything is silky smooth, refined, powerful & elegant.

We installed Escort Max CI. Interestingly, here in NZ, Escort doesn't seem to offer their Escort CI 360 model. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the car so far. Only driven 200kms so far since delivery so I'll reserve my feedback on its performance just yet.

I was told that this is the first F90 M5 Competition to be delivered here in New Zealand.

Have a great day guys!

Congrats, beautiful! The same color combo I'm going to order. Wish they had the M seatbelts for non CP.

Congrats on the beast!!!

Amazing!! Did you buy or lease? Not sure if New Zealand have leasing options. Are the taxes significant?

2015F80 · 09-15-2018, 07:05 PM

Killer colour combo.
The interior is gorgeous yet sporty
Exterior colour goes so well with the car
Congratulations

Hey fromgta, thanks! We purchased it outright. NZ have leasing option but we didn't look into it. The GST here in NZ is 15%. The cost of base F90 M5 is $199,900 NZD (Around just over $130,000 USD) and CP is $230,000 NZD (Just over $150,000 USD) which includes 15% GST.

Looks great! I pick up my Donnington 2019 M5 Comp in 2 weeks, I can hardly wait.

Lovely combination.

Is that the light carbon interior trim?

Looks fantastic, thanks for posting! My car, which appears to be your car's twin with the exception of the driving assistant package, is scheduled to be delivered to my dealer tomorrow.
