Most Helpful Review

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.

E for Exellence

The drive is really fun and it’s a pleasure to drive The looks are stunning, but performance may lag at really high speeds-the comfort in the car is next level The maintenance is affordable and the first service was pretty decent The cons-Fuel economy is not good
