          Bonnet

          Could someone on the board please advise if the bonnet on the E39 M5 is in fact made of aluminium.
          I believe I read it somewhere that it was, but now can't seem to find it anywhere.
          Thanks.

          Try it with a magnet. The answer is no.

          I did.
          The reason was to check on the bonnet that was replaced.
          Thanks anyway.

          Agreed, the E39 is metal. Gustav, what about the E60 M5? Do you know if the hood is Aluminum on that?
