Hey guys I just upgraded to this M5 from a 530i. All I can say is holy mother of Christ..... It's a beast. I am in complete awe on it's performance and beauty. I purchased the car from a dealer that had 0 details as to the performance upgrades other than the meistershaft exhaust. It also has black dpi scoops and a custom sub box in the trunk. Other than that I am clueless as far as what other performance upgrades have been done. Previous owner was in Austin Tx i was told. Anybody know if previous owner was a board member. I would like to find out as much details as I can about my new pride and joy. Here she is

Chances are that he's a member here or on another board. Think....an M5 owner that is into mods and doesn't join a forum? very unlikely! In fact, it's very unlikely that anyone would by an M5 or ANY other car and not mod it. Men are men. lol. I'm sure you'll find out. Nice car

But you can do the following and i recommend it to any owner of the car. Look up where the registrations were and find the nearest dealer for their location and call with the VIN to find out if they've had any service and if so what kind. If there were any recalls you can find that out too and if they've been taken care of.

Thanks guys! I think the dealer thought he would never sell it with the Meistershaft 1,2,and 3. I am enjoying the hell out of it..... but never had to fill up so many times in my life lol!
