Hi all
Thought it was time to post some pictures of my beasty, its a Silverstone II 2006 M5, what a fantastic car, love the sound of the V10

Only modification ive done is put the 2008 rear lights on it as it brings it up to date

Lovely motor.

Looks fantastic, would love one. How big is the fuel tank?! I thought my S4 was juicy

Think its around 70 litres. from the red light coming on it usualy costs just over 60 pounds. well worth it though. It also uses a litre of oil a month wich is normal according to the dealer. Got it booked into a service this thursday which should be fun......

Jimmy,

love the 08 lights, are they genuine? if so did you need 08 harness of any kind, or programming?

A lot of cars have them hidden away these days , they light up the area near the door , rather like the puddle lighting some cars have when you open the door

Wove to know my self where it throws all the oil. greedy thing, LIke R60EST said the lights are just to light up around the door, quite a nice touch

Hi there
they are genuine 08 lights, they were purchased from ebay. You will need a cable and a unit that stops the error signs coming up on the dash and stops the LED's flickering
If you look on E60.net and search for Bruce Miranda you will find it, He's based in the UKand makes them to order, it cost me about £250 but he does do group buys

You were lucky to find them! Ill keep my eyes peeled then, cheers.

Very sick of it lol. I fill it up with the 97 octane at Sainsburys, the guy behind the counter even laughed about how much I'm in there.
