Sorry - but hate it.

M5 has to be discrete, else you may as well buy a chav car like an M3!

Meaning this car runs on white fuel, ie, unleaded?

Cheapens the car in my eyes.

Not the colour you'd go for in a discreet super saloon.

Rancid Colour which totally ruins the cars presence and makes me want to gouge out my eyes and replace them with hot sticky toffee apples

And i dont think Fueller Alpinweiss means unleaded as the german for fuel is Benzin .
