I'd agree. The bulk of M5 sized cars is always a big factor for drivers to come to terms with, notwithstanding excellent suspension tuning, which the M5 has. If we had the sorts of unlimited autobahns of Germany, I'd have one in a heartbeat. But, having just completed over 1,300k in the last four days, including mountain roads, I remain in awe of the M135i. And, yes, it averaged 7.2L/100k, with an average speed of 85kph. Wow!
