My Ride: Late 2005 M5 in Silverstone Metallic II with Full Black Leather Interior. SMG, LOGIC7, Heated Front Seats, Rear Electric Sun Blind, Comms Package, Professional Nav, TV Function, Extended Voice Control, Adaptive Headlights
Default

Hi guys and girls

Thought i'd quickly introduce myself. My name is Jon, and i'm 23 and live in Bournemouth (South Coast of UK)

I drive a 2005 E60 M5, and love it. Haven't done a single thing to it yet, but am in talks with Scuderia Systems with reference to a Tubi Rumore System.

Quick spec:

Silverstone Metallic II
Black Extended Leather Interior
Nav
HUD
Xenons
Adaptive Headlights
Heated Memory Electric front driver and passenger seats
Bluetooth Telehphone Prep
TV Function with Freeview
Logic7 HiFi System
Voice Recognition

And the usual other standard stuff on the M5

Some pics:











I am looking also to get some iForged wheels, or maybe Radenergie R10 or R20. Haven't quite decided on which. All are about the same price. Just got to decide which design i like most!!

Anyway! Speak to you all soon!

Jon

Thanks for all the welcomes guys!!

Fly M5.. Calton did PM me saying he had the wheels etc. Made me very envious!!! So hard to get hold of in the UK.
BALASUBAS.. The countryside over this area of the UK is awesome. Those photo's were taken in a place called the New Forest. Very scenic and picturesque.

Nice to see some other UK owners here too. Do the UK owners ever do meets anywhere? Some very nice cars i'm seeing already!!

Oh, btw, how do you display all posts on one page instead of clicking them individually at the bottom??

I'll get some more pics up of my other car soon when i take delivery of it on Monday (fingers crossed). Getting a 730dL SE 2008 in Sapphire Black with Beige interior for work. Need something a little less juicy and slightly more comfortable for driving clients and other company directors around in!!

Just a quick taster of the 7 series. This is the only info and pictures i have at present, as the car is still with the dealer in London.

The 7

Probably not to everybody's cup of tea, as the interior colour is a little ghastly, but i didn't have much of a choice. Had to be the LWB version, and the only nice one going was this one. Ah well... May change it to cream or white eventually!!
