Is M5 on the road already? Saw a Titanium Silver along Paya Lebar yesterday, with D (for Germany) sticker at the back and the number plate is something like E*6*E.

EE64E is a fake. I posted a pict some months back. The heart that pumps the ride is the same as your ride's.

That explains the sedate drive.

The extent the owner has gone to fake it is

That was my main consideration when opting for the M6 and not M5. The E63 is not as common. Yes, I do agree that there'll be some clown who'd do the same with the E63 but there will definitely be less.

There are about 5 E60 FM5 at the last count.

I believe there are THREE actual M5s driven around the streets here right now.

Your wheels look a little too small.? Maybe its because you haven't lowered your suspension yet.? Those PS2 feel great don't they?

Yes ed.. i could only afford the 18" version ler that's why it is smaller than yours..
By the way, for your ride you should have used 255/40 front and 285/35 rear just like the M5 set up since you got enough horse power to deal with them.
With this set up, curbing the rim will be less of a problem coz the wall sits further out than the rims.

With the PS2, i felt the steering is ligther than when it was with the P-zero rosso. rolling off resistance is better i felt. haven't played with the tyre pressure yet. Yes, it gripped much better than the Pirelli rosso.

Edlee, IMHO, your ride looks so much better with the AC rims - somehow, it looks more fitting - with the Darth Vader and.......

I think so too, but its too late to regret. So much easier washing those type 4 rims too.

Hey guys, good luck on your IDT this morning, enjoy yourselves. Toto had made it back to Singapore. He just sit right in front of me on the same flight back. Darn, I should not have pulled out from the IDT if I knew I could made it home today.

Hi all,

I have been following this thread for quite some time already. It is definitely informative.

I am presently in the market to purchase a 523i. However I am holding my purchase till the 'revised' 523i comes out (with the push start button and all).

I asked the SE when it will be out. They said they have no idea. As such I thought I might as well this question here. Any idea when it will be out.

Look forward to your replies.
