BMW M5 Touring - Driven

<< < (3/3)

In our market at the moment you can pick up a 2008 RS6 Avant for the same money. Or and RS4 Avant for half that.

This particular M5 was a 2008 model. So not too old. Was however in shocking state.

At the end of the day... I didnt like it. I agree... sedan vs Estate is a stupid comparison. the point I was trying to make was that the sedan feels twice the car of the touring.

I climbed into a MINI Clubman S and within the first km was already having more fun.

I think the problem with the M5 and especially the touring is that you never really ever get to exploit what it can do. With a MINI you hop in and you can. Same with a GTI etc. That whats makes them so much fun.

Then M5 with all its computers and nonsense is a bit too clinical. It ruins the fun in the Touring. It is a fantastic sedan though. Loved that!

You'd absolutely hate the RS6 then!

The thing is.... I loved the RS6.

It was rather simple...

Have you ever seen the performance menu for the Idrive system?
