I just spent 2.5 weeks on holiday in Italy and Sardinia. Everything was simply fantastic; locations, people/hospitality, weather, food and the wine of course 
I highly recommend it to anyone else considering going there for a holiday 
Armed with a Canon IXUS 500, I thought I'd take the opportunity to take some pics of my ride amongst the beautiful scenery in Tuscany (Italy) and the clear blue waters in Sardinia...
Tuscany -- my ride parked outside the hotel we stayed in and with only one or two bottles of wine in the boot, honest
):
Tuscany -- my ride on the drive way to the hotel, which is in the background
(No, I don't have black-chrome finish on my rims -- thats just a crazy amount of brake and drive way dust
)
I just love this pic
Sardinia -- my ride on a viewing point overlooking one of the many harbours
This boat might even have as many options as Rudy's 550...
Sardinia -- my ride next to the sea, close to one of the harbours with boats cruising in and out
Hope you enjoy the pics. Certainly put a smile on my face -- finally some pics of my car in great locations!

Thanks for posting
Great pics!
PS.
A M-Sport with M5 rims is absolutely the best looking option!
I suppose you have 245/35 and 285/30 19 tyres?
All in all the car looks simply fantastic with its chrome grills etc.!
