Perhaps once the novelty of the whole "new car" thing wears off a tad I will be given a chance to get behind the wheel.

Outside looks awesome but the interior looks dated to me - with the straight dash and minimal instrumentation. I've never been in the new M5 but I have been in the new 5-series... Is it a lot different in terms of the interior?
Awesome car. Congrats to your dad. I hope he lets you drive it. Although if I owned one, no one would drive it but me.

Perhaps thats why i like the M's dash and interior. The iDrive is a chore to learn, but once its understood its not to cumbersome to use. But like I said, I tend to be a minimalist when it comes to interiors. Just keep it classy without giving off the appearance of a Airline cockpit!

Congrats, the M5 is one filthy whip!! Give us all a late christmas present, and when its completely broken-in, make a few videos for us so we can hear the screaming V10!!!! Enjoy it!

Although the M5 is a nice car, I don't understand why BMW didn't make it a little more different than the regular 5 series, besides the engine, the changes are very subtle.
