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

After enjoying my 545 for the last 19 months, I have to say I wanted more.

The M5 is the car of my dreams, and I have always wanted one.

I saw an M5 at BMW Toronto that was stunning. It was a display model at BMW headquarters in Canada that they just decided to sell. It has 70 km on it, and looks gorgeous. It's Silverstone with Black interior.

I was able to get out of my lease with no penalty.

I can't wait to drive it. I better start saving up for some gas money. (22 km/100L!)

I will give more details and pictures soon.

What are you talking about? 22 km/100L? It should be 22 liter/100km,right?
