Hope this helps.

Thanks that helps.

I placed an order for an M5 in September, and was having second thoughts about maybe getting the 650iGC instead. However from what you say, this car will be difficult to drive like a sports car if it is quiet and the HUD doesn't have a tachometer.

I find paddle shifting on my 550i impossible without using the instrument cluster, and since the car is so fast it isn't practical to take your eyes of the road, so basically the paddles are useless in the 550i.
