Finally - Got the new Beast!

Hey All.

So, after many hours of searching, finally got the new beast.

Specs are as foolows:
2003 M5
Lemans Blue/Black Nappa/Aluminum
48K Kms

Dinan kit includes:
3.45 gears
Cold Air Intake
Software Upgrade
High Flow Air Meters
Kesseler Exhaust

I'm very happy with the purchase. Car exceeds all expectations. Drives like a dream.

I just want to say thank you to all board members, your advice, and the invaluable information I have garnered here. I believe I saved over $5000 just by reading and getting posts on this site.

You guys rock! Next time your in Toronto Ontario, look me up. Beer is on me!!

Because of what I learned here, I got the dealer to put in a new clutch, give me extended warranty, and completely check out the car. Thanks again!

Here are some pics. Beast owner at last!

Re: Finally - Got the new Beat!

Beautiful example... seen that car on the market before, nice compliment of upgrades!!


Wild shot in the dark... were you travelling Westbound on the 407 this past Thursday? If so, I was in the carbon black beast following you for a few km.

How does that song go? We got the beat? Just kidding.
Sounds like a great deal, and a wonderful color combo. Nice little list of mods too; I'm sure that really brings that car to life. Enjoy her, and lets see the pcitures!

I couldn't see the pictures either but by copy-pasting the links (to the pictures, I mean) into a new window it worked out just fine. It seems that the server hosting the pictures doesn't support hot linking.

BTW, great looking car, vvanherk! Congrats!
