If you're in the market for cars like the E63, M5 or S6, I bet you that your main priority is NOT taking it to the track (even though you could). If you want a fun track car, you get a smaller and lighter vehicle (like the M3/M coupe/M roadster). Rather, these mid size sedans (like most cars) are meant to be driven on the road and possibly carrying passengers. If not, why the big 4 door sedan? Unless you drive on the autobahn regularly where excess speeds are a norm, the M5's behaviour on everyday roads at less than excessive speeds does not seem to be ideal (according to some M5board members).. |
I'm sorry i really dont understand. Kids dont need a soft riding car....why would they? Also the M5 has an adjustment on its dampers that stiffens and softens the suspesnsion. It really isnt that big of deal and if you haven't driven one you really can't complain. Remember its the ultimate driving machine, not the ultimate riding machine.
Honestly my only complant was the amount of gas that thing drank after a little fun...But on roads its fine and on the highway its comfortable. If people have a problem with the ride they should get a merc because thats what they're meant for.
