507 bhp........M5

[sshenton1975]

Evening all

It's been a year now that I have been using my E60 M5 as my daily driver. It's been much more reliable than all the doubters would have you believe and I have done many jobs myself - throttle actuator and discs/pads.

The car is an absolute riot to drive. I only ever drive it on the flappy paddles as the auto box is horrible. The M button makes the car and absolute beast.....so good to drive and very few cars that can stay with it when you are "making progress".

The modification bug bit me and I have made a few subtle changes:
- muffler delete
- 20 inch BBS wheels
- H&R spacers
- Eibach springs

The car is now as I want it - nothing more to do, it is perfect in my eyes!

Oh Lord, that looks lovely. IMO best model M5, these.

[Muzzer79]

Lovely

Like the rims

[CrouchingWayne]

That looks great!

[Amirhussain]

Very nice! Like the rims too.

[joscal]

Now that looks amazing. Usually prefer standard, but that looks great.
Good job.

[Martin_M]

Love it! For me, this was/is the best looking M5 but good ones are hard to find these days.

[Deadlift]

Blimey, that is gorgeous. Any sound clips?

[theboss]

Absolutely love it - I can't remember the last time I saw one of these on the road either... Always the odd F10 or E39 but very few of these. The last one I saw was an E61 which in theory should be even rarer.

[Terminator X]

Looks rather nice

TX.

Not normally a fan of BBS wheels (probably because most VAG cars in Cheshire wear a set), but they really set your car off nicely.

[TheAngryDog]

Very nice! Those BBS's wont have been cheap! I'd consider a remap just for extra giggles!

Re the doubters, the facts do speak for themselves and these car have been problematic.

[militantmandy]

Looks fantastic. The rims a are tremendous.

[SirSquidalot]

Ohhhh that's 11/10 on the wibble scale!

[Andy665]

Liking that a lot - the E60 is aging very well

[Cactussed]

Can I be rude and ask whether the rims are real or reps and if the latter, where you got them from?

[broster]

I've seen this about a few times on my way home from work, nice looking car!

[Shaoxter]

Hmm sorry I don't like the rims...

But you got it in the best colour though
