Congrats on the new ride, man that looks nice. Your not REALLY going to drive that in the winter are you? Also just curious: what's it cost to insure an M5? How much more than the 550 was the insurance?
Insurance was only $36 per year more than the 550 (surprised me too!) So a year of insurance is $2,032 thanks to good driving record, but base cost is listed at $3,982 before all the safe driver discounts. This includes $300 deductible on theft, vandalism, collision, $5MM liability and licenced for "business use" instead of pleasure use (so I can write it off )

And thanks to all for the positivity!!!!! This forum is truly one of the best aspects of driving a 5.

Thanks! Yes I was "Westcoast 550" with the Carbon Black 550, not to be confused with "Westcoast550" who has an Alpine White 550.....so you see I had to get the car so I could change my name and end the confusion
I have seen hp listed at 500 and at 507 depending on the source.
