My Ride: BMW m5
Model Year: 2017
Hello Everyone,
I am an ex maxima enthusiast used to hang out a lot with maxima.org crew. My nick was maximaGTR. I decided to get an M5 its 2007 to drop my obsession with maximas and go the German way. I got a few question to ask. Car does not come with ipod adapter and also Comfort access system. How hard is it to add them on. Also any decent spoilers I can get for M5. What else I need to know about this card beforehand. I used to do lots of mods myself on my car. I live in NYC. Let me know the warranty and prices involved in installing those parts.
Thanks in advance,
Roman

Don't get it. I got up to 125mph tonight on my way home from CT and completely freaked my wife out (whom I thought was sleeping). Hahahaha! The road was pretty much empty and I was tired of going 90mph. Well, let's just say she gave me an earful for the next 10 miles. Hahahahaha! Anyway, point of the story is...the M5 is bad, bad news. It makes you speed ALL the time.

I have to try out the GPS speed function on the hidden OBC menu...
My speedometer has gone almost all the way to the letter "1" on the fuel gauge.... in the DIESEL
that's well past 260kmh, (155mph)... running the 19" OEM M5 wheels with 275/35 and 305/30 tires....
I have Eibach suspension and roll bars, Torsen LSD, cat-back exhaust... and boy, do i love spewing black smoke...
didn't find it to be unstable at all, BUT i do not recommend driving in these speeds....
Safety first...
