My Ride: 545i; Manual Shifter
ccz,
Very nice car!
Congrats!
The Sepang Bronze looks really good. Now I want to see it in person.
The only thing I find somewhat odd is that BMW did not offer the SMG shifter housing in black. It seems as if the shifter was designed with the aluminum trim in mind only. With the wood trim, it almost looks out of place.
At any rate, you are one lucky
!!!

Hi There,
After seven months of waiting (I guess I'm still lucky if I read the waiting list for some of you out there) My brand new M5 has arrived ! Got it last wednesday, took some time of and drove into Europe.. Complete Bliss ! By now it has had it 2000km oilchange (today) and I have started to gradually rev it up...
Some observations:
* This is by far the very best car I have ever ever driven..
* The engine sound compares to nothing, its a great turbine with al kind of harmonics in it. Rough when idle, musik when pushed.
* SMG box is much smoother than I had thought and very, fast, even if I didn.t even use mode S5 and S6.
* That glorious surge of power, sound and acceleration !!!!! Mmmmm...
* Automatic mode is not my cup of tea. I'm using currently manual S4.
* Sport setting for EDC is very though and makes the car a bit restless. Normal setting is the best and the fastest..
* Continental tires suck.. will change it soon to pirelli. They really cannot handle the car well.
* No matter how great that engine is, the suspension and the roadhandling may very well be even more impressive. Automotive heaven !
* I'm very very pleased with the sepang bronze.. it looks great in real life. Interior is Sepang Bronze Hell/ Black with Madeira Redwood. I think this is a superb combination wit the wood bringing some much needed warmth into the interior.. although some of you may think it is not sporty enough to fit an M5. For me itis the essence of the M5: a gentlemen with a hooligan lurking inside.. But feel free to disagree and judge for yourselves..
I'm am the luckiest guy in the world right now..
Gotta go now... DRIVING !!!

First and foremost, congrats on your new car!i envy you so much.. i got a question though...you said after 2000 km then u start to rev it up..is it bad if you rev it up frequently for a new car?
Well.. The new M5 has pretty strict instructions on breaking in the engine. First 2000 km no full throttle and no more than 5.500 rpm. Max speed 170 kph. No use of launch control and setting D5, S5 and S6. Between 2.000 k m and 5.000 km. Max speed only for brief periods, max constant speed 220 kph. No use of launch control and setting D5, S5 and S6. I suggest you respect these advices for one your M5 makes of log of your driving behavior, not respecting these instructions may result in loss of guarantee. Second, the wonderfull V10 is a high performance engine with enormeus forces inside. Breaking it in gently will ensure lower fuel consumption, better performance and a smoother engine.. but.. after 5000km.. REV IT HARD !!!
(-: it is still fabuleous, every time you hit the throttle...
