I got it now C.... never mind my ? in the other thread.
I feel for you. Honestly, I know it sux but it seems to be wasteful to buy, paint and install an M-tech kit with so little time left on the car. Fix whats broken and wait it out. It will be a difficult 15 months but an exercise in patience. You can test drive an M5 once a month at different dealers for the next year to get it out of your system. When I take delivery, you can drive mine all you want.
All the best
