Lost 550I about 2 months ago. Some guy choose to go thru a red light at 40. So I will be doing the same thing, next week I leave to pick up a M5. Can't wait to drive this thing. Grats on yours.

Dude, they're not even the same car. Like literally, they look similar, but once you drive that M5...all bets are off. It's nothing like the V8 E60s. I'm still trying to adjust.

First things first, research the eurocharged ecu tune. It was my first mod (same day I bought her). It's really aggressive and ads 25whp + 21wtq. I think their sale is still on thru Xmas....well worth it. The beast scares the sh!t out of me daily (I think that tune had a lot to do with it lol).
