Those set of big brakes on the X5 M50d sure works brilliantly; there were several instances while going way past the highway-legal speeds, where I was cut off by slower traffic on the fastest lane. Without fail, it managed to slow the car down every single time.

And that cabin, my word, is so pleasant I am more than willing to move in there instead. Really.

Yeap, it was already fast enough; and now it’s even faster. Oh, the monstrosity…


When BMW first introduced the F10 M5, many complained about the relative lack of exhaust noise as compared to its V10-powered predecessor. Sure, it may give one less aural pleasure, but the performance gains more than made up for it. However, in terms of aesthetics, BMW still has some way to go before the F10 could look anywhere near as good as its grandfathers.

The automatic opening and closing process for the roof can be activated both at a standstill and while on the move at speeds of up to 40 km/h using a button on the centre console.

Yes, you got that right – both husband and wife own a BMW each. Mind you, these BMWs are not ordinary ones at that. The husband goes around in his fire breathing 507bhp M5 sedan, while the wife settled for a demure and rare, (probably the only one in town) - BMW 135i Cabriolet. The colours individually chosen by them can also come across as the culmination of Yin and Yang - not exactly black, more of dark blue actually for the M5 and in the 135i's case white, but you get the idea.
