My Ride: 2004 545i 6 speed, Silver Gray A08, Gray leather
Mods: Hard-Wired Passport 9500ix LIVE , K&N Air + RPi Scoop, Mtech V2.1 AE, ACS pedals+Ebrake, flip up front plate, OEM 172's, Custom M Kit, M3 shift knob, Eisemann Race Exhaust
2005 X5 3.0 (the nightmare)
1998 528i SOLD @ 173K
Thinking about dumping the 545 and moving on up. So im looking at a 2006 M5 with 27k miles. 2 owners no mods expect tinted windows and black oem 166's. Just wondering things I should be looking out for. The cars out of state and driving it before buying is not going to happen. I plan on calling BMW and seeing if its CPO'd and what work has been done to it already. Also wondering about people who have extended warranties ( how much they cost, if they cover the SMG set up etc..) Any help would really be appreciated ! thanks guys

Extended Warranty first! Mods after! But scoops and pully are first on the list! Going to fly to Jersey and pick her up this week! Here's a teaser pic! First thing I do when i get home is install some black grills!

Congrats! Coincidentally there's a new member on M5Board that just got pretty much the exact same looking car with black OEM wheels. Thought it was you but he's in Newport Beach and you're in NY. haha
