I have a 600hp ute (LS7 w/cam) which I purchased at the same time as my silverstone blue M5 in May, so I apologise to the group when I say the M5 feels way weaker than I know it is. I am forced by circumstance to part with a toy now. The 1999 M5 is silverstone blue, 62,000km, solid black leather, wood grain and is a beauty. I will allow any inspection conducted by any workshop except by the dealership. Also click on
