Favorite member's M5!

I was just thinking about how nice some of the M5's out there were. Some of the modifications (and believe me there were MANY) that I've been seeing has added up the effect of making it VERY hard for me to choose a favorite.

So, I propose this for you folks out there. Do you have a favorite M5 with the color, mods, etc. that you see as being the perfect "dream" combination.

Try to exclude your own M5 in this case just for the sake of this thread. Although, I've worked very hard to get my M5 the way I want it, I still find that there are other M5's out there that are highly desirable to me.

One such instance is Apples' own Nowacked M5. I chose his because its my favorite color and has the perfect blend of mods/look that I'm after. The BBS LM wheels is something I love, the overall look, the Nowack ducts and the countless other little things that Apples has put in.

What about you guys out there? Any favorites and why?

don't forget

Rave M5's car...

It was always looking so clean... tasty mods and all that waxing made the color look so deep...

Now that was a good looking car.

Germansedanfan's S2 with the Black Stoptechs, has always been one of my favourites. He goes under Paul S now.

Beastpowers is pretty sweet, and so is Tfungs, and Triflow has a Beast to be reconned with. Fast5's is coming along nicely as well.

Theres too many great ones. It comes down to only fine subtle differences.

I like Pauls S2 because its under stated. It's the Quiet achivever.

It could get lost in the crowd. It doesn't have arrest me RED Calipers or Poser crossed dressed (Read drilled) rotars not that theres anything wrong with that.

I like the Maximum Performance, Minimum attention.

P.S. I will be meeting Yoda in 3 hours.

Ya know...there can be many classes here.

Blacks RMS is by far the beast that most of us long to have...

Apples has the best N/A beast here on the board

Tfung has a spot in my heart as his parts are what i started to look at the day i got here

Beastpower for going all out....literally, by adding that roll cage...it all has to be out.

I have a ton of admiration for those people who left their cars stock...as if i had done the same i would be some $15K richer.

All the best.

XrayMd
Fast5 get votes as my favorite cars of people that i normally talk to
