Can someone please confirm if their M5 is a pre September 2006 build and has an ignition button?
Mine is a May 2006 production car and is a 2006 model in the US and it has the start button.

What kinda deal did you get on her? Anything over 50k miles usually gets you a decent deal these days.

I would get a warranty soonish.

Its beautiful, congrats..i'm hoping one day to get an M5 myself..

ps: The interior is great, the only thing my personal taste would go for is to take that wood grain out as i personally feel it clashes with the red interior, the brushed aluminum interior moldings would look sick with that red...but STILL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL

Ahh Ahmed see I told you, I was pretty sure your car was an 05 from the production date. The MY2006 M5s started in 9/05 and they all had the push button starter. The first M5s that came to the US were 9/05 models and all had the push button start making them MY2006 cars

Thanx everyone for the compliments. Now i need to know some must mods that should be done to the car. Even though i think it looks amazing as it is.

Looks incredible man. Only thing I'd probably do is add euro stickers, it would look good with the silver. And maybe LCI tails down the road.
