My co-pilot (9yo daughter) and I are off to the local dealer for the new F90 unveiling.

The Ultimate Sleeper Machine. It doesn't look like a car capable of 10s 1/4 miles does it?

Not a bit. It's incredibly nice, that's for sure, but I'm not sure I would buy one even if I could afford it. For me, it's just too big.

This one was already sold and the dealer asked to hang onto it until Monday for the event.

When I bought my m2, the dealer had it in the showroom. They had to move an m5 to get my car off the floor. My god, what a sound. Hope to have an m5 as my daddy car once the wife won't let me get away passing off a coupe as a family car

The F90 is gorgeous. It is huge though. I have an e39 M5, which I consider to be one of the best cars ever made for just about anything. It looks/is smaller than an F30 3 series.

Great point.

The new M3/4 is the same size as the e39 M5.

Interesting to compare dimensions:

2003 M5...188 x 71 x 57 inches

2016 M3...185 x 74 x 56 inches

1996 M3...174 x 67 x 55 inches

2003 M3... 177 x 70 x 54 inches

2016 M2...176 x 73 x 56 inches

I loved the size of my e36 and e46 M3s, so it's no surprise that I like the dimensions and feel of the M2. And I'm sure I'd love the new M2 Comp, but for the time being I will probably find a good used M2 and put a few bucks into Fabspeed cat, Dinan tune/intake, and suspension upgrades. Maybe paint it in San Marino Blue too.

But I am certain BMW will sell every single 2019 M2 Competition they build!

Did some shopping on the M5.....all running in the 110's to 120's....nice car. I will be interested in seeing comparison between new RS7 and the M5. Should be a hoot.
