QUESTION for the helicopter pilot: Does your M5 come with "Composite" or "Honeycomb" rotor blades, and is it a twin engine ship?
Just kidding, but seriously it would not surprise me at all if Chris Bangle and his BMW design team would not attempt that next of the M5, it already has GPS navigation, and a beefed up engine!
The M5 is one awesome ride, and congratulations on your M5, and I know you will enjoy it!
Sincerely,
Raymond Presley

Congratulations Cidair! Awsome car...
I have not seen a E60 M5 IRL yet. I'm currently living in Denmark, after 7 years in Stockholm. And BMW E60 isn't a car we see much of? :'( because of the taxes on cars in this fucking country.
Just love your videos! But but but! When you did the video on the swedish motorway, I saw you did 150-160 km/t, and the engine's RPM where as high as 3500 RPM in 7. Gear!? I think that's too much.
In 200 km/t our 530dA is doing 2800 RPM i 6. gear.
Yes of course it's a diesel, but why 7 gear, when the car is doing 3500 rpm in 150-160 km/t ???

Nice videos Cidair!.
Do you have some ( hmm ) electronics in the cockpit, in the middle of windshield.
In your second video I saw some electronics on top of your dashboard .
Is that some kind of GPS.speedcamera "thing" or what?
Happy driving

Cidair... congrats! you are SO lucky... Canadian dealers say I will be among the first in Canada to get mine... but thats not untill late November! Im sure its worth the wait! :'(
So, how did you get the [two?] M5's so early?
do you know if you were the first customer to own one?
Also, how many kilometers/miles do you have on the car currently... I bet you are just driving it everywhere to get the break-in period worked through?!.
Happy [and safe] driving!!!

Hav e clocked up 2200km today, that is in 6 days! Time for first oilservice tomorrow!
Engine oil, gearbox oil and rear transmission oil will be changed.
And then..............................rpm rpm rpm!!!!!
My M5 was the first customer car to be produced. But my friend got his car 3 days before me ( how did that happen? ). I?m pretty sure he was the first private customer to take delivery.
