So i got the new car on Sunday but it came open trailer so it was filthy, and I finally got a chance to get it washed last night and snap some quick shots.

So here it is stock:

Nice color combo, my favorite after the blue/natural I got.

So, you plan on the m5 fenders too? I'm doing a little research on that as well. Let's share notes sometime.

What's the port tune all about? I just got the Dinan tune and their exhaust this week.

Not sure you will be able to do M5 brakes on the Xi, not sure if you can get an M5 rear bumper for the wagon. And I'd just get the forged wheels - don't waste your time and money on replicas. Especially, your car is so nice :thumbsup: Nice list of mods planned too. Good Luck and congrats! :twoup:

I don't see why not when BMW made M5 touring's from the factory. They're in fairly limited supply in Europe though so I don't know what they're like for availability in the US

Bah! I knew there are some M5 touring cars out there, but I didn't realize they were "produced" - thought it was a special order deal. Thanks :thumbsup:

This car looks great as does yours, skip the tint satrt with wheels, 535 is a great engine make sure you get it breathing right ASAP. good luck :thumbsup:

Can you not do personal imports from Europe to the US? Our RHD UK ones are obviously no good to you but you should be able to locate a LHD one easily enough on the continent.

Loads of LHD ones available on this site

Excellent color on your E61, M3This. Welcome to the forum and let us help you spend all of your money. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys for all the kind words.

As for the M5 Touring rear Im sure its still going to be special order for me as I doubt the U.S. dealers are going to be able to get it, so I will have to hit up one of my BMW contacts in the UK and see if they can source it for me.

The mods are in list of planned order as I need the KWs to work out my offsets as I need to see how much squat that I get from lowering it.
