The Compensator

Yes.

RS 6 not crazy enough? Lol

I don't know why y'all need a super cray aggressive design that eats babies for breakfast.

The "philosophy" of these fast German saloons is to look pretty regular while offering spectacular performance. It's always been like that. Flying under the radar.

If you have a look at the 500 E W124 or early M5s, you'll notice that they look pretty vanilla apart from some specific parts like wider fenders, bumpers and whatnot. Especially compared to the newest generations.

And look how popular they were/are. Especially the E39 M5 which has been praised by many as the best RWD sedan of all time or the aforementioned W124 built in Zuffenhausen.

Can't tell if the arches are any wider on the M5 above, probably they are, but the bumpers on this render already look noticeably different. Just wait until you see it on the road.

Leave the crazy stuff to Lexus, please. I can guarantee you that people will be tired of their design in a few years time.

Your opinion about the average 520d and M5 does not reflect the real world. You don't know what the average M5 buyer wants or doesn't want.

I guess you are talking about the crew?

Man, you can never guess the game correctly...

I've read on the forums comments that the patch has made some noticeable improvements in terms of performance, although there are still issues with 4-core CPUs.

Still waiting for the pc demo version to come out.

Still waiting for that PC demo... And for the price to drop...

Soundcheck??? :toetap:

I think the new 5 series' biggest issue is that the next 3 series will look identical. Until they're both on the road together then the 5 will look rather fab.

History repeats itself.

Just don't wreck it on your first day of having driving licence.

Curious to see what they'll say if you bring it there. I remember you've modified it, right? It sounds like an issue that would have happened even if it was stock, though.

I've uninstalled it, lol. Thought I'd enjoy it more.

^ I'll come back to that

New 5 Series M Sport. Official release is tomorrow

The mighty twincharged golf needs an engine rebuild. Lost compression in two cylinders, likely piston ring land failure. Didn't sell it quickly enough (not that I want it to be someone else's problem).

Have you seen the repair bill yet? :(

:drool2:

Ofc Sport packs sell like hotcakes. What I meant was the overall design of them and the additional wings and so on. Still, sport bumpers look better than standard on most models, though. Except the S coupe.

I guess that yeah the stripes and such are there to attract younger people and those who like their cars in some crazy, attention-seeking wraps. However, such things just doesn't fit the brand and even the cars in my mind. The real way to get more younger people that would otherwise go for BMWs due to the sporty feeling and drive is to make the base versions cars drive better/ like BMW and look more sharper/sporty.

For sure, they must sell enough ed1 models that they still keep making them.

I'd put cxx stripes on a gt3 rs or some dezent m tricolor on a white m2 coupe. Not a Merc, Audi, Bentley and other cars that are in the luxury/classy bracket. So that's why I don't like it.

Merc is trying too hard with the AMG bits and paintjobs. From the atrocious aero package on the A/CLA/GLA to this grey Edition 1 C-class.

A car can look sporty, aggressive and yet elegant enough to not make it chavvy. I don't really care if the design is based on a DTM race car. You say it is good because it makes the car (and the owner) stand out from the crowd. I say it makes it/you stand out in a bad way.

Needless to say that there are two C63 Coupe Edition 1's to choose from - fully loaded with yellow stripes that comes only in matte gray, or with grey stripes (which can be deleted) and standard colors.

Ikr...

I have no idea what they're doing this. Maybe that's really what some buyers want. :shrug:

Wider arches and a body coloured deployable/active aero style wing like the ones on the old R8s would be ideal I think.

That would be very cool, but most likely cost more to develop and, in the end, less effective than the fixed wing.

The Edition 1 lip spoiler looks the best.

I was sort of hoping they'd fit a good looking rear wing to it but it seems they just expanded stock of the C63 BS aftermarket wing. That car sort of gives me the feeling AMG's is trying to get rid of the Black Series. Too extreme to fit on current models?

 

Sound is great as usual though.

Can't see any type of wing that would look good on the car. It's just not the right car for it. M4 GTS has the same issue - its sleek rear-end shape does not cope well with the wing's design.

I hope the production version will have wider arches.

Weeell, what do we have here? :D

That's a bit harsh dude, sure they are expensive cars, doesn't mean he won't ever be able to own one, never under estimate people.

Decent and detailed review by PH.

I'll never be able to decide between the M4 or this. :(
