Those bolsters (mine has them) are not standard & cost ?1245 as their only available as part of the M-Sports Multi Function Seats option. Bit pricey.

I've no need for ventilated seats as in the UK, the seats will never get hot enough to cause discomfort so the good air-con & heated seats are a greater requirement.
they cost 4800 leva here and thats around ?1900 so youre not that bad off mate

Being a dealer demo car, the raft of extras kinda get thrown in for free. All in all the extras on this car total more than ?11000

you really are lucky that you get some excellent warranty in the uk. In bulgaria i would never buy a second hand performance car, as they will not service it , even if it techincally has warranty

The day is fast approcahing. Only another 4 days until collection.

I'm popping down to drool over her tomorrow & check how they're getting on with preparing her.

Fired a call into DMS today & she's booked in next Wednesday for some special M5 fettling & to top it all i'm taking her on a 4day trip to Nurburgring the following week. Life can't get much better. Am their the same time as a few folk from E60.net so will no doubt swap stories & a few pints together.

Shit! Shoul I resign and join U? I?m sitting here by the fjord and planning to buy an apartment in Helsinki. With that money I could get 2 M6?s in Finland!! But maybe wifey would not like that so much.

Have nice time at the Ring and remember that it bites if You don?t respect it! Tell me when and I look You from Ring netCam.

My original thinking was to wait, however i had my RS6 fettled to well over 500BHP within a few days of getting her & my 535d Sport was DMS'd almost as soon as i got her, so i'm giving the M5 the same treatment. Though process was it's going to take a little time to master the performance & handling of the M5, so i may as well do these with the performance i intended for her, rather than learn the same lesson twice. I'll have 4-5days in Europe & at the Nurburgring to make in-roads in her taming & what better way to learn how to control this monster, better to do this at full tune.
