The term \u2018super saloon\u2019 has been around for decades – it\u2019s one that is something of a juxtaposition, but some day all those years ago when the world was black and white someone decided that throwing the dog, triplets and the kitchen sink in the back of a car that then did 0-100 real quick was a great idea. Turns out it was…<\/p>\n
Blast forward to the tinder swiping, Trump bashing bonkers world we find ourselves in today and the very same recipe is still golden. Big booty, barmy power and bountiful comfort is still in fashion, a fashion that one manufacturer has been doing right from the very beginning – BMW.<\/p>\n
You can feel the all-wheel-drive shifting power and dragging you out of inevitably embarrassing moments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I\u2019m at Ascari, the playground for the rich and very brave. There\u2019s a garage behind the pits that is currently brimming with racecars, including an F40 GTE…new pants please. Back to the track – it\u2019s scary, really scary. I\u2019ve been here a few times before and it still to this day remains the only track on the planet where I\u2019ve had a spin.<\/p>\n
The track is a mish-mash of some of the best corners in the world, think Silverstone, Laguna Seca and more. There are dramatic elevation changes, big walls and multiple trees to ruin your day and make a mess with. This is perhaps one of the worst places to bring a lardy executive saloon with aggressive changes in direction that require ballerina like balance of weight. I am behind the wheel of the BMW M5 Competition and this is no ordinary executive saloon.<\/p>\n\r\n
