I'd took my 728i in for a service and I was looking around some of the cars and I saw a used '00 M5 parked on the stand. I got talking to one of the sales people and they offered me a test drive. I took the car out and instantly fell in love. I left the showroom and went home, and planned to buy the car. However, I was in some financial bother at the time and so I decided I might have to wait a little longer and get the car when i had the money.

A couple of weeks later i returned with my brother because he wanted to place down an order for a new Mini. When i walked in, there was the Black '00 M5 I had test drove before, and a Blue '01 M5 that had only come in a few days ago. I took the blue one for a test drive, and then went home. 2 weeks later I was driving past my dealers and saw them both. I then settled on the black one because it has lower milage and a better spec than the Blue one.

I have owned this car for about 4 weeks now and it is one superb motor!
