They already gave me the 1000-1200 mile service(with the break in oil)...and by s-6 you mean the shifting stiffness..!

Maybe your 2 years driving experience in your whole life is the problem.

S6 is the speed of which the gear change takes place.

M5roth that could be a good assumption but the fact that I never drove a manual car before may be true, but Ive been driving for a lot longer than two years buddy.

FloridaBmw it makes sense....thanks for the help and Ill try the recalibration either tonight or tommorow and see how it goes...thanks again.

Let me say I am beginner when it comes to high performance cars as I am only 18 so take it easy on me.

Is this a serious question?

A little off-topic, but why would you have regular 5 and M5 at the same time? I would say dump the regular 5 and mod the hell out of your M5.

I didnt know that there was a limit on what can be asked....and I thought this was a M5 forum that was for car enthusiasts.

Keang24, I love the 5 series and I want to mod the M5 but I thought it would be a good decision to put at least 5000 miles on it before that happens

i think that because your so young it is hard to believe for some that you are for "real" and not just trolling. if have pics of your m5 that would be nice. i for one think that it is possible to be 18 and own a m5 but i would think that such a young guy with that kind of money would tend to purchase something like a porsche or other sports car. (unless of course you started having kids at 16 and having to carry around kids in the back! lol). when i was younger i had a lot of friends that had rich parents from overseas and a few of them had ferraris and lambos purchased cash for them before could even legally buy cigarettes or alchohal. good luck to you.
