Thanks guys for the comments ! I will definitely take care of the car its my "baby".

I got this car for $62000 with tax from venus fine cars. The tint is around 15% all around I think, thats what they told me....oh and btw for the 19 part lol, I am working my friend, eventhough my parents help me a bit to effort this car, without work and studying I would have not even a civic lol.

No you don't lol

As much as I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE my ///M5 there is no way in hell I could daily drive this thing. I absolutely love this thing as a weekend car, but for a daily I'd much rather have the low end tq and auto tranny of the 550i

No question that the 550 makes a wonderful daily driver that still has very strong performance. But the tranny on the F10 M5 with its dual clutch system, will solve any driveability issues that there may be with the SMG which is an all out, kick ass, performance transmission designed to wring every last bit of speed out of the car. The M3's DCT is widely acclaimed in the car mags and I have no doubt that the F10 M5's will be just as, if not even more, wonderful.

Personally i dont know what the fuss is about with the SMG M5 as a daily driver, other than the fuel economy.. if you put it in S400, D mode the car drives very nice and isnt that shifty

Thank you guys again As for the smg part, it is very comfortable to use, I am a daily driver on that m5 and regarding the fuel economy, its not that bad it eats as much as my parents CR-V. I find this car very friendly with being familiarized with the systems and all the functions it has, I just love this car.

i'm just going to go ahead and assume that if you buy an e60 m5, saving on fuel expenses is not very high on your priorities list
