I also agree that the sound of studded tyres is terrible. Last winter I tested both types studded and friction tyres, but now I have only
one set available. Maybe I should change into those 19" without studs...

Well, as you know, we really didn't have a bad winter down here.

for calipers and for rotors

Note that front and rears are mixed. You should be able to order online, if not I could help out if you paypal or just transfer the money. The remaining M5 ones are a little expensive but with some of these vendors there is potential for price reduction so call or email and ask them if possible to do anything on the price "if fast/smooth transaction". I got my calipers for just over 100 EUR/pce + shipping but they were listed for that so I was really lucky
Quality of the rotors is of course a little difficult to determine but if you don't like used ones and lack a good local contact, I have my local spare parts guy working on a deal on new rotors so we'll see what he can come up with.

It looks like 6000 SEK (about 600 EUR) for the pair of calipers from a 2006 M5.
And I have to go to Malm? next month...
We shall see!

Model Year: 2012
I went with another mod. I found a second hand 530xd by my dealer with dark brown poplar interior profiles. Thus I convinced him to switch them with my aluminum profiles. I am really happy about the change the car looks really classy plus a touch of wood is not bad as I am leaving on its trade.
I will post some pictures soon.
PS: I still have the M5 cluster if anybody leaving in Finland needs it just tell me I know already all the freight rates.

Without a doubt, if I had not already been inspired by you to go with the M5 gauge cluster, I would buy yours!
Now about your wood interior trim: the obvious question is WHERE ARE THE PICS?!

No niin. What did you buy?!
No leds for the interior, because I really like the OEM warm lighting inside the car.
