New Alpine White M5 Coming to Austin, Texas - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Greetings all. I wanted to share a picture of my new alpine white M5 that just arrived in Bryan, Texas. Holding my breath until I can get there to pick it up. After a lot of research, mostly on this forum, decided on a 6 speed M5 to replace my 8 years in Audis (most currently, an 2005 S4). This will be my first BMW and I am thrilled. I ordered it in January and was amazed at how fast it got here. Can't wait to feel the car with a manual transmission; only was able to test drive the SMG version. Best regards, Derek

Thanks guys. It's good to see Texas so well represented on here.

Streetking, I'm in Tarrytown, work downtown, and picking my car up the week of the 18th. Do you know of any other white M5s here? I haven't seen one yet.

I can't wait. I made the mistake of getting an automatic in the S4, and have been bored driving ever since.

I'm in Austin 4 to 5 times a year. My bus partner lives in Tarrytown. If I see a white one, I am going to assume it is either you or StreetKing. I have yet to see an M5 in Austin, and I have been there 20+ times.

I had a B7 S4 auto too. Would've been great in the rain but I realized I lived in SoCal after driving
