So, after a whole bunch of bullshit with my dealer.. i had to go down to toronto to pick up the car instead of them delivering it that day , it was about a 250km drive each way. I picked it up and they had a 08 flat black tuned M5 beside it with flat black 21's and a hamann exhaust. Either way my stock 06 M5 beside it looked clean! 10500kms on it.
Drove it home and havent been able to stop thinking about driving it, and have been to the gas station 3 times now in 2 days
. She's a thirsty little devil, but sick as hell.. Literally the best car i've ever driven.
I picked up this car as a former US vehicle being converted to Canadian standards, never been redlined, and hasnt even been programmed for the P500 and P500 sport settings!! So it hasnt been abused at all im told.. is this a good indicator of that? being as the person who drove it didnt even want the extra 107 hp?!?!
Pics to come. Need tint tho, any recommendations?

Congrats! Post pictures with nothing added. This way, once you start modding, it will be great to compare the before and afters.

Formula 1 Pinnacle Series is the best. Not the cheapest, but the best. It's ceramic (ie. non-metallic), so your remote will still work further than 3 feet away. Lifetime guarantee. Very classy look.

Personally, I've always gone with Llumar and I love it. On the current car I went with SG and I really like it. Just depends on what you want to pay. If you want to pay $200, the ones I just mentioned are great. If you want to spend $400-$800, FO and Huber Optik are the best.

+1. Not cheap at all, but definitely the best.
