New M5, older M3
Jul 03, 2014,12:16 PM
The configuration was a luck of the draw, as the closest M5 I could find was in Nebraska. The M5 does feel noticeably bigger than the M3. The manual recommends not testing the engine much for the first 1,200 miles but that is now behind me. Time to play with the M1/M2 modes .
The M3 was fun to drive especially the handling, but I always felt that the the low-end torque was lacking. I would be be curious if anyone has driven both the M5 and the 550, and preferred one or the other. Strangely, I seem to spot more M6s in L.A. than M5s.
