After many months of reading your comments and thoughts i've gone and done it. Today is the 25th march 2007 and on Wednesday i take delivery of my M5......Oh god i can't wait!!!....But how in gods name do you not use the M button for 1200 miles??
Whats the deal with the 1200 mile service as my dealer is having babies about booking the car back in to have the service done as they say if you pass the 1200 mile mark without doing it then NO BMW dealer in the UK can resale the car.
I'm 41 years old but feel like i'm 18 going on my first date!!!!
