well, its been 3 months now since i swapped cars,

ive done a few mods already

the wood trim has gone, and an alloy trim has taken its place

a pair of k+ns have been fitted

some funky pads are on

its been poly bushed

shes had a set of iridium plugs

and ive been over it on a service,

all is well, i dont regret the change one bit, i love this car to bits, its an absolute holigan with the dsc turned off

it seems to just love all the abuse you can give it every day, it just seems to beg foir it

as a motorway car, its very very fast 170+ comes all to easilyits just a true petrol heads dream

its nowhere near as bad on fuel as i thought!

anyway heres a few pics of her today

and i am now confident this is the car for my first ring trip i can drive there, thrash it, and drive home without even opening the bonnet

 

Thats a lush motor mate
When did you bin the Saph?

 

fuckin' lovely............

 

Awesome James


he broke it as he had enough


he also likes it up the bum.

 

do you miss the turbo rush? I'm guessing not! I soooo need a go in one of these

 

i broke it about 4 months ago, it just was never ending and i wanted a change

 

lovely car, buts its not a saph

 

i really thought i would, but i can honestly say i dont miss anything about the saff,

this is just soo much fun, and soo useable, i can relax and just enjoy it

 

thank god

 

I know the feeling, my own ford went last year. Had enough, just want something I can bloody use!

 

i do

but only from special people, lol

 

James off topic, when we gonna go pimp ourself's on Home again with Doug? not done it in awhile lol

 

car looks mint and glad to see your happy with it
how does it accelerate compared to the saff james

 

in the three months its been in my garage for one day,

its the complete oposite from the saff, in three months id be doing well if i got one days use out of it

 

how come yours looks so cool and mine looks like a dirty shitty 5 series!? :-(

 

later if you like!

id say, not as vicious as the saff, it doesnt break your neck, but this just pulls and pulls and pulls, you never ever run out of grunt, you find yourself doing stupid speeds and you never even got near the red line,

its sooooo long geared aswell

you dont realise just how quick it is, untill you come across something you know is quick, and you blast past it with ease, it hides its speed very well, as its so big

 

Tell me about it, the XR2 sat in my garage for two years... when it came back out to be sold the clutch had siezed!!!

Bless it however, only needed a battery to start. But I do miss it.

Still, doing nothing now but driving the Mrs Micra ( ) and saving for something decent to buy in the next couple of years.

Still that M5 is porn

 

thats the thing with m5,s and similar cars james,you have to do silly speeds to get the rush whereas with the saff you have to concntrate and listen for them small noises you know are goin to give the wallet another bashing

 

that is very true,

again i dont miss that

all you have to do to get a rush in this is press the dsc button, and turn sport on,

then its a swift trip home to get clean pants

 

Stunning car

 

How the fuck do you see out of those mirrors ?!!

 

its for looking around corners

 

the rear end pic looks awesome

 

im goin out for a quick look in the saff for that dsc button james,does anyone know where it is

 

i could stare it its ass all day, i love it

i love those 275s

 

spray some wd40 on the rear tyres and you will get the idea

 

ive used all the wd40 on the leads and dizzylol

 

let it idle for 5 mins and use the oil that drips on the floor then

 

That looks well, wheels look a little tame but its got a nice stance.
I realy diddnt rate the new M5, both me and mas (turboRS) drove an 08 model earlier this year and it was disapointing, all the right buttons off, and the M button on and it realy wasnt what we expected.

 

Looks lovely, a proper tidy one.

Is it low mileage? Reason i ask is its proper mint.

 

fpmsl
at least you havent forgotten the joys of owning a cossie james

 

the new new m5 is going to be a v8 twin turbo @ over 600bhp i heard!

 

100k

 

would like to go inone of these, looks awesome mate

 

my wheels could do with a refurb really they lack the sheen on newrer ones

but these look soo cool on m6 wheels, i may be tempted to go that route

 

Bloody hell! Looks seriously mint for 100k!

If you put M6 wheels on it i WILL get Diva to ban you, forever.

 

lol, it is clean, but they do big miles very well, it drives like a 30k car tbh!

 

Looks fantastic

M6 wheels suck ass though!

 

Looks hard as nails, I'd love one.
