Jeremy Clarkson on the new M5
February 22nd, 2006I wish it had fewer badges. I wish there were fewer spoiler add-ons, too, and I wish the four exhausts were better hidden. The whole point of an M5 is that no one knows about the power. But this one shouts a bit too loudly… Mind you, this pales into insignificance alongside my gripes with all the electronic brouhaha. I mean, why could they not just sell the damn thing already set-up, for all of time… Why make it all so bloody complicated? ...What this car needs, badly, is a dose of Stalinism. A bit of dictatorship. It needs to be less of a village fête with something for everyone and more of a fait accompli. A car that does only one thing, very well, for those in the know.
