M5 Bra - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Thinking of purchasing a bra for a trip down to S.Cal. Any pointers/suggestions? (I want it to use for long trips only not for every day use)

Mark (MAH), I like the one you had on when you left us last trip. Any details would be helpful.

Good to hear from you. You will certainly need the bra coming down the 5, for sure if it is at night. I do not know what it is about our lights, but they draw bugs like fresh road kill.

I bought a Coligan Bra. You can get it from several distributors. They are really hard to get on the first time, but I can tell you that they will not come off even at 161mph! The bra did not leave any marks on the paint.

I believe that if you look in the back of many of the car magazines, you will find a distributor. I purchased mine from Big Sky along with a car cover.

Let me now if you top the 161. I hope you have a Valintine for the trip. There is only one thing you will attract like the bugs, the DMV! Watch out for the "eye in the sky".

If you're considering a bra for your M5, I have to recommend the Colgan bra. They're made about 5 miles away from where I live and have I've used Colgan on the previous 2 M3's and 3 other BMW's I've had. They are the best and the safest. In addition, I highly recommend the matching mirror covers or "booties" that fit perfectly and are designed specifically for the car and will not interfere with the fold-up action of the mirrors. They look great, protect the paint and finish from flying debris/insects/cigarette butts, etc., and few BMW owners know about or have them. Approximately $125.00 for the bra, $40.00 for the booties (US). You can get all through a local distributor or direct from Colgan. As of this writing, both are available and in stock per Colgan.

I've had great experience with Colgan bras as well. I have one for my M5 and one for my X5 and the fit is excellent on both. I just returned from a 4700 mile trip from S.F. Bay Area to Mt. Rushmore and pointds east in the X5 and regurilarly cruised at 90 to 100 mph with no problems - I never even had to adjust the thing! I'm very pleased.
