My Ride: 550i delivery end of Feb. 2006
Jet Black| Black Interior| Sports Package| Manual | Cold Weather| Comfort Access| Sun Shades| Premium Sound Package | Sat. Radio| M Aero Kit | Rear Spoiler
Let me start by saying I'm not the best photographer but, hopefully they look ok.
Without a doubt I made the right decision in getting the M5 (although I do feel like I'm getting to know the guy's at the gas station a little too well). Everything about this car is awesome!!! Some of my favorites are ventilated seats, active backrest and I love the comfort seats. What a major difference from the rock hard sport seats in my 550. I didn't have the navigation in my last car and idrive definitely hesitates a lot but, it's still worth it. I couldn't decide between SMG and a 6 speed but, for me I'm glad I went with the 6 speed, I just enjoy driving a stick.
Oh, did I mention the power is awesome!!!!! Still trying to be gentle for the break in period but, let's just say I'm not having any trouble passing
Happy driving to all
