Crazy that a new car can offer that much performance for mid 40s.
The only time I truly see the M5 shining in the SMG version - is in 3rd around 60 MPH - it absolutely rips in that situation.

Have heard that transmission is a little temperamental to say the least. Forgot you likely have the model that depending on the settings will give you 400hp or 500hp. Hope you have those confusing German settings down now.

Fairly different cars but could see the M4 maybe getting within the ballpark of acceleration of the early V8 model R8 but. Would assume the early model mid engine R8 wouldn't be comparable in handling to the M4. Guilty of checking used R8 prices before and haven't depreciated as much as I would have thought.

I don't remember if I told you - but my buddy took me for a ride in his R8 SMG - it was pretty nice - but lot's over over-steering. Still hugs though.

Awesome. Have always wondered what they were like on a real road since they look great and tick all the supercar boxes.

Nice. Less power shouldn't even be a setting. You are going to get ****ing awful MPG either way so no idea why BMW added that.

I get like 12-14 mpg with 2 less cylinders but have a short commute. Really don't care about the mpg at all but it's mildly annoying with a 15 gallon tank.
