Hi,

Anyone else got an m5 on here? Picked mine up last week, got bored with the range rover.

Here's a few pics. For those who don't know, its a 5 litre v10, producing 500hp and it sounds fantastic!!

Cheers,

What a coincidence....

What are the chances of that

What do you think of it? Sounds fantastic when you open it up and a bit like a diesel when you start it from cold Alllan.

I nearly bought on instead of the FFRR, but decided against it as I wanted something a bit more useful in snow

Well have always been a bit of a "BMW man", probably why I like my 2003 Td6 so much.

I had this for 2 years.....

Arrrrggggh! I just clicked on Gaz's link and now I am regretting it since he's got it in the colour I couldn't find!

Great car to drive and the sound under full throttle is epic!

Good luck with the new beast

I've driven a V10 M6 in snow before and I think my trip to the alps in a few months time would be rather scary in a M5

I just wish I had enough dough lying around to have a M5 as a toy, next to the FFRR. Something to play with on a Sunday, preferably with a circuit along the route somewhere. First warm up on a spirited drive on some twisty roads and then a bit of tyre smoking on the circuit before going home with a face splitting grin

Absolute gem of a car Gary, too early for me (would be an option if and when we move to NZ ).
