Another proud owner
Dear Fellow M5 Members,
I have been seeing this forum for a couple of years now (since the E39 M5), this is my 1st post here mainly because I didn't have anything to say. This is the best site for beemers.
Last week I went to the dealer asking about the M5, and to my surprise they had their 1st shipment in a couple of days, and there was a choice of colors available, so I didn't hesitate to put a down payment on a white/black fully loaded M5. Multi function seats, Merino preforated leather, and many more.
What I can say is the car looks better in person than it does on pics. I like the electronic gizmos in the car, but what I noticed is that it has a huge appetite for gas (approx. 27L / 100km).
The most annoying thing is the break in period. I want to have a feeling of what the car is capable of, but I guess maybe in a week or 2.
Love the full leather, very soft, and the Multi function seat work well, I still haven't got to know every function of the car (100 km on the odometer),
but looking forward. Definetly, the best BMW I ever had.
Pics coming soon.
Regards.

No I haven't used the cool seating yet, I had it on my 745 and rarely used it (maybe less than 5 times).
