I had a new M5 over Xmas last year with these on and it was lively to say the least
BMW need to crack on and release the M5 with x drive.....same issue as Merc, putting that much grunt through the rear wheels is only ever fun in the summer.

PS2's were they only tyres man enough to put the power down....wear rate was scary!
They were PSS

I was told they were going to do an x drive but now not hence I have RS

I have the Dunlop SP Sportmaxx GT on my car. Not as good as the F1's. I had some P-zeros on the car when I bought it and they were pants. Changed them for F1's which were much better.

The Dunlops slide in the wet, much more the the F1's.
I have them in 265/30/20 with only a few hundred miles on if you are interested. They came with my wheels but if I had a choice I'd rather have the correctly sized 255/30/20s.
Actually, I forgot, they rub too so you probably won't want them (even though you probably wouldnt notice it).

Misanored, bucket seats, sportsdiff. Not too many other im afraid.
What I have done with mine since i live in freezing cold sweden is to mount an engine/coupe heater, very nice.
Also i put a iphone 5 cable in the armrest, that turned out pretty nice.
More pics to come.
What im really longing to do is to lap the nordschleife, hopefully quicker than with my last Golf R.
/cheers!
