Great car, you will have SOOOOO much fun with this car pal.
CA Automotive do great deals on a brand new pair of genuine MAFs if you fancy putting new.

I've heard bad and good things about Polybushing the M5 - I think Stu has done his, good results from what I hear on his too.
I need some more reviews before I polybush mine - I wouldn't want one shattering mid 90mph corner on the 'Ring

My front bushes were changed about 30k ago going by the history, but they are ready for changing again - Big heavy car and when the brakes are jumped on all that weight is transfered into the 2 bushes that stop the front wheels falling under the car

dont think M5's ever had a silver knob in them? unless someone knows different
+ that one is a 5 speed knob, not 6 
still, suppose it looks better than the wood
it may also be missing the tyre pressure monitor button thing?
