Most Helpful Review

Outstanding service

The experience was outstanding and everything was as expected. The best part of it was the comfortable spacing and stylish look. Whatever it is, after driving it, life feels different much in the sense of betterment and satisfaction, presence.

M5 with batteries

Looks could be more aggressive, overall good, best if you are BMW fanboy, Standing out in the segment with the competitors, performance is always in DNA.
