My beast must be the grand daddy of M5's! LOL

The car may have been a 2006 production, but I think it's a 2007 model!

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
I agree. To be honest i think the woodgrain looks like sh*t in the e60. The brushed aluminum finish on this silver on redleather would look REDIC!!!

Nice car man, looks really clean and those seats dont look too beaten! Side bolsters are a mUST!

BOOOOOOOOO I have an Indy Red Interior with the woodgrain. To be honest pics make the wood grain look too bright and shiny.
It is much more subtle in person. Pics also make the red of the seats look brighter than they actually are too.

daym lads... lets quit the argument of the wood grain or brushed aluminum. I think its personal preference. I mean i traded my 04 530i and it had brushed aluminum w/ black interior, it looks pretty sick. but honestly i had my doubts about the wood grain but when i actually got the car.. Turns out that it doesn't really look that bad, looks pretty alright to me. I'll still smoke my cigar in the car as proudly as anything. The beast sits under a foot of snow as of now but def w/ a cover on top of it. Happy motoring.
