My Ride: 2006 BMW M5, Silverstone with black extended leather, brushed aluminium trim, Nav Pro, Logic 7, PDC, 35 % tint.

I am running at 18.5 l/100 km. My car has about 1200 km on it. I did notice that when I picked up the car the fuel consumption read 30 l/100km! The more I drive the lower the consumption I get. My dealer said because it is a new car and any driving prior to my picking up the car was at idle, the fuel consumption is not accurate. I get about 400 km on a full tank.

My 545 did 13.2 l/100 km with spirited driving, so I am not too unhappy about the fuel consumption of my M5. Everything is more expensive on the M5. I am dreading paying for winter tires but there is always a price to pay for the ultimate.

Driving an M5 is like dating a supermodel. It is high maintainace, but the pleasure, excitement, and thrill is worth it.

Yeah but..... no matter how hot a chick is, there is ALWAYS some guy who is tired of banging her.




9 miles per gallon would get pretty old, pretty fast.... I think.

That would be "god" on earth for all diesel freaks...
Probably the weight of a mamooth with all that weight and the cooling needed for a house, but i bet more than 450bhp and 1000NM+. REMAP?! Ok got to stop dreaming...
