Yea, when I first heard some of the numbers they didnt sink in. While waiting for them to finish up I realized just how much faster on paper my car was and was getting pretty excited about driving it, by far the fastest car I have owned.

I know what you are talking about. It really makes a difference.
Low end torque is addictive.
Double thanks to you Cid, not sure if I would've went through with it without hearing your experience, especially when you ran into problems and how much Hartge and the Swiss insurance stepped up even though it wasn't their fault. Speaks volumes about Hartge. Like Jörg said, "enjoy your new car!"

I'm thinking about a visit to Hartge with my X5 35d.

Enjoy and drive safely!
Thanks Edwin, I know I can eat at M3 for breakfast now but I would have to pack a BIG lunch for the new M5 and hope the driver gets weak kneed above 200kmh, lol, which is possible.

Lots of folks who dont even own the F10 talk about the steering (including car reviewers who wished they had one) fact is, with the stock options I have on my car, I will run it up to 260kmh and its rock solid like a champ. The ACSchnitzer springs make a world of difference but it was good before them too, they just take it to the next level.
