My Ride: 535d M-Sport '06 Plate - Carbon Black - Black Leather - Pro Sat Nav - Logic 7 - HUD - Bluetooth - Privacy Glass - 172M 19" Alloys - Heated Seats - PDC - Adaptive Headlights - Extended Voice Control - Paintshield Extended - M5 Boot Finisher - Bright White LED Internal Lighting - Dension Gateway 500 Ipod/USB/Aux Integration
I don't think you're a 'complete tosser', in fact you're been really helpful to me with LED related matters, but I personally would not choose to have that plate.
Are you serious when you say it costs more than the car???

ah, the old silent majority!! what good are peoples opinions if they dont speak them! at least you say what you think.
BTW, why didn't you get a M-sport, rather than a SE. Surely that would be a quicker way to get a M5 lookalike. Did you start out trying to make a lookalike, or just your ego gone horribly wrong
I know it's illegal to have "stupid" number plates. But the DVLA are complicit in all of this, by offering them for sale in the first place.

Wow, just seen this thread; a few years late, but hey! 4 questions for AlVal:
(1) Do you drive with your fog lights on, even when it is not foggy? I though so.
(2) Do you indicate when changing lanes? I though so.
(3) Do you tell people you drive a "BMW M-Sport". I though so.
(4) Do buy a suit from "Next" and try to convince yourself and others its an ?Oswald Boteing?? Oswald who?
AlVal, you are indeed a clown and are one of these clowns that give us BMW drivers such a bad reputation. I agree with the comments Bangle_Box_530d has made.
How do you feel when a ?real? M5 has gone passed or has just pulled up at the lights? More importantly, how do you think the M5 driver feels? I tell you what, he feels nothing; just a smirk if he has time. I used to have a 911(997) Gen 1 4S and when I used to pull up beside endless smug guy's in Boxster?s who thought they were in a 911, it was so funny as they would immediately look the other way. Even more funny was when I would go to Porsche for a servic; the first thing other customers would tell me was why they went for the Boxster and not the 911. I think you see where this is going!
I await the backlash. By the way, before you ask AlVal, ?why don?t I have a 911(997) 4S anymore and just a 530d?? Well madam it is because I now have a 911 Gen 2 4S in addition to my 530d. AlVal, I leave you with the definition of a ?bastard?; ?A bastard is an illegitimate child, and the word is also used as a derogatory term for an unpleasant person. The term can also mean a mongrel.? (Wikipedia)
