F10 M5 bad review

I just saw in newspapers stand the test of french magazine Sport Auto and the guy who wrote the article does not (really) liked the brakes of the new M5. I think this is the first article that is mixed regarding the F10 M5. : (

It was my understanding that the M5 would be given an option when it comes to brakes

omg! halt the press!

not everyone is in love with the new M5 and people have their own opinions.

what a world we live in...crazy isn't it?



And no, it isn't the first article that has mixed reviews. Most have been positive though.

I understandn if they don't like the turbos or the engine or the weight but the brakes? Come on. Seems like the one thing on the new M5 that is last to complain about!

Actually the older M5 had better brakes and i believe it stops in a shorter distance.

We all love the V10 in older car but common.
The brakes on F10 M5 is far superior to the E60 M5. Stopping distance few feet longer is due to one factor only which is weight. No need to slam the new car with wrong info.

lol, man i not one of those purists. and i'm not trying to slam anything. The new M5 is a monster but the brakes aren't as good as before and as you stated it's due the extra weight.
