BMW F10 M5! - Singapore Grey Hello Detailing Fans! Today I've got something special for you! The All-new BMW M5! This is the F10 M5, and its in hot demand at the moment. Not many at all knocking around and BMW have put back a LOT of people's orders!
I was lucky enough to have this car for a thorough test drive, thanks to the owner. I am a huge BMW M car fan, and have been since I was younger, so to have the chance to do this and drive for quite a while was fantastic. The engine is a peach, relentless torque and a fabulous sound track to match it too which I wasn't expecting due to the V10 being replaced with the V8 BiTurbo S63 engine.
The proper dual clutch transmission is brilliant! The exhaust pops on downshift are awesome!
A little more on the car…

The F10 M5 is praised by journalists, admiring the car's performance and handling. Day-to-day driving is also supposedly much better than the E60 M5, with the gearbox and fuel economy cited specifically for their improvements over the old model. Concerns have been raised regarding the steering feel and weight, however the car has, once again, received overall praise for being the best performing super saloon currently on the market; an accolade retained throughout the five model generations.
