Just picked up our E60 M5
So, just wanted to say thanks to the board for all my recent reading. We've been on the hunt for a low miles E60 for my wife for around 6 months.
Wanted only white or silver grey, less than 60k miles, comfort access, active seats, hud, and rear heated seats. We could find a lot of nice cars, but none really looked brand new (I know its a used car but we're pretty picky - restore cars for a living so we're all about details).
Well we found this silver grey with 52k miles, owned by a bimmer enthusiast, traded in on a brandy new M5. It's in pristine condition. It was lacking a couple of our must haves (hud and rear heated) but we couldn't pass it up. So here it is:
Over the past 6 months I have read TONS of your posts and questions and answers in preparation and over the last few weeks been on here every single day reading about tips and tricks and issues and everything else. So thanks for being a board made up a great questions and answers. I hardly ever join a forum, but I joined and hope to contribute.
PS. We're in LOVE  and pretty much want to sleep in it.

Thanks guys.
Ya a little bonus was the window tint - it's only like 30-35%, we're more of a 15% so now we're in debate mode of whether to re-do it. But at least it's something for now, and the suede headliner does keep it nice and dark too.
It's black with silver trim.
