Hmm, interesting, I quite like it from the front - didn't expect to.

Wonder what the arse-end looks like - that'll be the decider. Much like life in general

[PetrolTed]

Looks ok. Not 'strong' enough in my book.

[ScoobyZoom]

need a touch more "thug" and a hint more "steroid" if you ask me... but you didnt so i'll shut up

M5 CSL is planned too... or at least thought about... 550BHP i thank you...

I prefer the current E39 version for looks. Hopefully lots of current owners liking the look of the E60, will lead to many trading up and lots of nice E39 bargains on the forecourts.

That's what I'm hoping!

I think its quite nice, all previous M5s have been pretty subtle.

Very wise words Daz. I fancy a change to an M5 after 3 Elises. I will be watching residuals.

Bugger it I could'nt wait for the glut of e39's M5's
and bought one at the weekend, now I'm on

[dazren]

Details spec etc. I take it you bought with a warranty?

July 2001 Le Mans Blue, 25000, still under warranty,
Full Comms TV/DSP/Phone/Satnav Loads of other bits,
Every time I drive it I find another gadget
(bunged it in reverse at lunch and noticed the left hand mirror drops to show the kerb, brilliant)

Just sold a Z M Coupe and I feel like I'm in a toy shop.

And what an engine !!!!

If the new one is an improvement on this, it will be amazing !!

got it for a decent price compared to BMW main dealer prices

Sounds good. I had the dipping passenger mirror on a seven series. Not bad for a car built in 1992. You can switch the function on or off by changing which door mirror the remote operates.

Someone actually RTFM
Daz, I always forget how to switch on the parking light on a Beamer. Something to do with the indicator switch and the handbrake.?
Maybe you could offer advice?

[mogul]

I have one of these on order due for delivery with the first one or two in the country early next year.............anybody interested in buying my spot?

Nose is pretty impressive. Makes me want to move aside when looking in the rearmirror. The rest is classy . . . M3 is my fav.
