Havnt taken delivery as yet, it's at bmw sandton.

Apparently coolant tank is leaking on to the injectors. Common issue on the f90 m5s.

Very keen to hear your thoughts on the differences between the F90 and the F13.
OK so my impressions so far are. It feels well engineered and a complete package, very planted on the road.

Only complaint really is the exhaust is a little muted for an m5 in my opinion.

Cabin/interior is a big improvement over the old model.

One thing I have noticed no matter how hard you drive it, doesn't really scare me. The m6 with the stage 2 and down pipes use to keep me on my toes a little.

Not sure to be honest - I bought the car with it already installed. It's M Performance. They are having a sale at the moment til end of november and exhaust should be part of that: Wanted to get a few carbon bits

So sorry to hear! I'll DM you the number of the PDR guy that ABS in Midrand uses. His work is solid.

So have got 98% of the damage out. So tiny little marks left at the top of the fenders. Not sure what I'd rather have a vehicle with original factory paint and two tiny dents you wouldn't noticed unless they were pointed out.

Or have body work done to satisfy my ocd.

My rear diffuser took a hit so getting a new rear diffuser fitted by @FiRi@Rennzport on Wednesday.

I vote for keeping the original paint work unless u use a ARC panel shop to get it close to 100%. If you go with this option please keep proof of damage (picture's) and invoices as this would come in handy when u sell or trade in. Buyers or dealers are quick to knock you on price if they pic up traces of paint irrespective of how minor it is or was.
Please post some pics perhaps as well (y)
