Got My Car Saturday
It is getting its first set of mods right now.....

Nothing massive but radar diffuser, v1 hardwired, smoked tails, and blacked out front reflector. I did discover some very disturbing paint defects on the lower passenger side.....it looks like the paint was melted with a heat gun. Anyway I talked to the dealer and i don't think they will give me a hard time about fixing it. I will post pics of the car when I pick it up tomorrow....

NYCE E60M5 you got there NewYorkCityE60M5

Since you didn't post pics, I just took another look at my pics. Good times in life when your sitting in your brand new M5 for the first time, again.

Good times after break-in, as well as you know.

Congrats!

Sucks about the paint, sure it will get fixed, correctly. Wonder if it was on that ship in another thread.

My 2006 M coupe had the worst paint I have ever seen on a BMW.

It had pit marks on the trunk.

My 2008 M6 paing is pretty good. There were some leather issues on the inside, but the outside was looking nice.
