POLL: Does the M5 consume your life? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

1. Not at all
2. A little
3. A lot
4. I think about it all day, can't wait to check the board...lose sleep, slack at work because all you do is think about the M

I should be at number 3, but I'm starting to lose control and slip into number 4.
Some might say I'm an Maholic.

There is a "poll" option on the page where you set up a new thread. Clicky, clicky!

I give it good wipedown every day, because water sitting on BMW paint in the sun = water spots. I buff the entire car if I see swirl marks. Everytime I have friends in the car, I wipe the fingerprints that they leave in the car.

Im not obsessed with the M, but I am anal with it for some reason. I put myself at 3.5

When i had it...i rated a 5. I used to be up till 1 or 2 in the morning sometimes talking to bill about the build up of the car.

4 sounds about right especially after my starter mods got installed last week and also because I bought the car 5 weeks ago.

As for the forum, I am usually up till 3 or 4am reading crap and when I get to work I occasionally just check what responses I get to my posts. So I guess a 4 sounds right.

4 I suppose, I cant believe how much time I spend on this board, but hey what can I say , good people, Josh

Number 4. I work and work some more, but my M is always there and never lets me down. Its all about Mods.

I think for my M5 I would be at 3.5, but for my M3, I'm at 7

I've spent hours and hours and hours working on that car. I guess I removed the interior 15 times to reschedule cables, to install a new tft screen...
I had it repainted twice last winter (first time wasn't OK, so I told the painter not to reassemble the car, and prepare it for another repaint.) Reassembled it myself, takes a lot of time if it's the first time you do that.
I guess I'm continuously working on that car for the last 3 years. Had new leather in the car 2 years ago, bought electric M3 seats last year, so the new leather had to move, and the M3 seats came in. Of course they needed to be in the same color as the rest of the interior.
Then installed air suspension, M3 brakes...
Mod list would be too long to mention.
