Interesting how the "Power" and "DSC" buttons next to the gear shift knob are slightly diagonal on LHD cars while they are completely vertical on RHD cars. Also the LHD car's buttons are in a 3+1 configuration while the RHD car's buttons are 2+2. (see pics).

Beautiful! Is that a 'full leather' interior? How do you like the Aluminum trim?

If you look closely, the area around the shift knob is slightly different. I'm assuming that the location of the SMG knob is the same in both cars, and they just changed the surrounding 'boot'. It looks like their just isn't enough room on the right side of the 'boot' for the buttons to be at the same angle.

Hi and welcome Spie. Beautiful M5 you got there. I've been to Cheshire at least twice before. Really beautiful and green. My good friend and business partner Gareth Ridings resides there with his wife and two boys.
