Got rid of the wife’s Evo9 and got this M5 as a replacement Its a 57 plate car fully loaded. What you think

 

beast thats very smart

 

more to the point what do YOU think?

 

I think i LOVE it

 

well done very nice. bin lookin at these lately really really want one but dont want the cost of runnin one.

 

not sure on wheels tho.

 

B-E-A-UTIFUL i love it mate

 

Love them, not keen on them rims.

 

Wheeyyyy. Properly nice, apart from the wheels, sorry!! Get some normal M5 rims on there.

What did that set u back if u dont mind me asking mate?

 

Not feeling the wheels but a lovely motor otherwise

 

lovely looking car! im yet to go in one aswell! what you think of it so far?

 

One Very Lucky Wife....

 

there the upgrade wheels, (m6 aswell)

 

Stunning, not much grunt lowdown but when it gets above 5-6k it pulles like a train . There loads to get used to, the gesrbox has 11 settings, there are setting for the dampers, diff etc.

With the wife driving to school in 400bhp mode she get 10mpg but with me in 500BHP mode i can get 22MPG driving briskley ??

 

nice machine.

 

I want to love it but i think I just prefer the looks of the old school e39.....bit more sleeper
I so want to like this car as I fancy an upgrade (for the hell of it) but feel like I need to look elsewhere right now. Not sure what though...some great prices around too these days

Enjoy it mate. Lucky wife.....

 

Awesome cars you wll love it , i love getting one of them to use at work

 

very nice Paul.

 

awesome!

 

INCREDIBLE! You are probably the first member with a modern M car! Tell us what you think!

 

Thats the bollox mate, great choice of car.

 

Thanks Stu and every one else for your kind words. Of to Disney Land Paris the weekend in it so will let you know how i get on

 

I know but in my opinion they just don't suit the M5.

 

Seems the style nowadays to stick M6 wheels on anything and everything. Seen them on plenty of 5 series BMWs (E60) and E90 3 series mostly saloons. Every seen them on an E46.

They don't suit anything apart from the 6 series imo. I like the original M5 alloys but hey, it's not as if they look crap the M6 rims!

 

Not 100% sure but i think they are not M6 wheels (looks the same as), they are a option on the M5

 

You are probably right there mate as the M5 has 19s? or 20s?

I'm pretty sure I've seen this style of wheel on a 3 series about 17".

 

Fantastic car, I love it. I bet that would be a car and a half to take to the Nurburgring, heh.

Benni.

 

They are the m6 wheel - nice motor

 

Nice car!

Tried the launch control yet?

 

No ! still reading the book, but is says you can only do it once then you have to drive x miles before you can do it again

Did 174 last night though, it then started loosing power like think the limiter was kicking in.

Need to find out how to remeove it and also put the TV on while you drive ?? for my daughter on the school run.

 

my understanding was that delimiting invalidates warranty - which seems like shit to me. Let us know how you get on

 

Ain't nowhere in UK you will ever reach those speeds realistically and safely so not worth delimiting it imo.

 

He might be going elsewhere, like Germany.

Benni.

 

Yes but i do go to france/ germany/ italy a few times in the year. so would like to know it will do

 

Fair enough if you want to open up the taps in those places

 

How much did that set you back mate? I have seen a few early high milers around the 25k mark , which is a fucking bargin for a car like that

 

£44K mate, the car was £70K new and just only 11 months old, but is a very hi specked car Full DVD pack, TV, comfort pack, those wheels etc
and being a 2007 car it has a few tweaks on the pre 2007 car.

I did see the early high mile cars and even some at BMW dealers and they would have 1 years warrenty on them.

To give you some idea of the prices, the car was £48k a few weeks ago !
I was looking at a black 06 car in B-ham for £40,800 and that was down from £44 and now its at £39.800.

Lot of car for the money

 

These will be an absolute bargin in a few years, looking at E39 M5 prices now ... I am very tempted once prices start getting to a sensible level. Nice car mate, enjoy ..

They don't do a manual in the new shape do they?

 

Nice car that pal

 

No, but its not a auto as such, it a 7 speed gearbox with a electric/ hydro clutch. you can have it drive mode with 5 settings for how quick you want the change and sequential mode with 6 settings in this mode with the m button pressed it is awesome I call this "full fat mode"
