Meek arranged a test drive of the facelifted 2014 BMW M5 w/competition pack and so I tagged along. I can only describe the drive as RIDICULOUS. You need great restraint to keep it under 150kph. Drives very very well, nothing like my standard F10 (I have the M-sports suspension option BTW).
Suspension was firm but comfortable even in the harshest of settings. Car does not roll or dip over bumps anywhere nearly like my F10, steering is very sharp and precise. Transmission (dual clutch automatic) is neckbreaking fast and brutal when in the Sports+ mode. Even blips throttle on downshift! Gawd I love how that downshift sounds.
It is ridiculous how the car can still be extremely quiet and comfortable daddy's car for day to day driving. The car is just amazingly calm and composed but when you push it, it has an attitude that Meek demands!
Not sure if I can describe everything in words. You really need to drive the car to feel it. This is quite the best car I've driven yet.
Definitely a BMW ///M fan here. Thank you Chester and MA for the opportunity to drive such a amazing car.
