Did you talk to my friend Qais? He's a good guy and will take care of you. $1200 for header install is a great deal esp with new gaskets. When we were doing R&D for the header project it took us about 18 hours to change the headers. You put two techs on that and all of a sudden you go negative.

i think it was qais, i didnt remember his name but i remember it was a short odd name so i assume it was him. you can tell hes real cool with prices for boardmembers...its nice to get a little special treatment. i think m5 owners should have their own roads like that episode of the simpsons when homer joins the secret society lol

I think the M5 is still at ESS for VT2 work. Eloy promised me a ride when it's done!

BTW, I'm getting an opportunity to see the 2012 F10 M5 in the flesh tomorrow morning! Hopefully I'll get to get a ride in too! Or least they'll start it up so I can hear the exhaust note!

I'll take pictures if I can!

Ah, sorry guys no pics really. They had a very strict policy on no cameras, plus it wouldn't have been worth it to take any anyways. All they had there was the pre-production test mule they had running around California this past summer. It even still had camoflauge on it. They said no pictures because the production model hasn't officially hit the USA yet. Didn't make any sense to me, since they didn't have the production model there.

Anyways, I convinced them to start the car up and rev it a little. The F10 M5 exhaust note was disappointing to say the least. It sounded cool on start up, but then got really quiet after about a minute. They revved it up, and it didn't sound that good either. I think this car will be in a serious need of an RPi full catback exhaust as soon as it come out. RPi could make millions of dollars if they can make this car sound good. Haha! I did get to look in the inside though and that was pretty sweet.

I also tried to bribe them into letting me drive it. They said they weren't even allowed to move the car since it belongs to the Engineering Test Division there and not to them. Lame.

I personally think that most people will be sticking with there E60's with RPi Headers and RPi Full Catback exhaust system, rather than get the quietest M5 that has ever been produced.
