I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my first Individual M5. :1:It was a long road to get these vehicles and I just ordered them in time (last day). There were some items I could not get such as contrast stitching due to end of production, however I'm happy with what I've got!

Exterior: Frozen Grey Metallic (Matte Finish) :M5thumbs:
Interior: Full Merino Platinum
Headliner: Platinum Alcantara
Trim: Piano Black

My brother ordered one as well:

Exterior: Brilliant White Metallic
Interior: Full Merino Bi-Color (black & silverstone)
Headliner: Anthracite Alcantara
Trim: Piano Black

I would sell a kidney to have a frozen gray anything. I'm gonna paint my whole house frozen gray. I'm really impressed that they released it as a color (even though its individual). It shows that the M division still might have a clue as to what the current trends are and they upped the ante doing a matte grey instead of the black that everyone else is doing. I cant wait to see it congrats.
 
:grinyes: House would look stunning.

Good points and I agree with you.

I remember mentioning that I ordered two m5's in a previous thread. I didn't order two for myself, one is going to my brother.
These cars will defiantly be sick. Brilliant white is a great color too. Frozen gray is the 'new' color or should I said 'matte' is the new 'color'.
Very nice! You must post pics right away when you pick it up!
For sure. I live in FL but i'm having my car delivered to the BMW warehouse in NJ (because I trust them and know the warehouse manager). From there the car will be picked up from an enclosed car carrier AT the warehouse, NOT the dealer.

I'll then receive the car in FL with ZERO miles on the ODO and no gasoline in the tank. That's the only way I take delivery of all my bmw's.. both of the m5's and the alpina b7.

avlnch and FlyFive. I notice you both live in FL.

May it is possible for avlnch to assist FlyFive in ordering an individual (that is, take him to your dealership and get him hooked up).

My dealer is in NJ. There are many other factors aside from the dealership.

Unfortunately Individual production has ended. I couldn't get certain items (ex. stitching) because of limited supplies.

That's a shame. Contrast stitching looks fantastic. However, I think it's a minor loss when compared to the rest of the awesome options you got.

Oh well, the ending of such a great era. How I love the E60 M. I consider myself to be lucky to have ever driven one (thanks dad for buying it - I know he bought it cause of me). Driving the M5 this week (while I find a replacement drivers seat for my G35 - it broke) and knowing that production is coming to a close makes me even more sad.

Congrats once again avlnch, make sure to post pics!

Thanks. The end of production for the E60 is what made me go Individual. I wanted a car that was different, and one that would last a while. If the F10 M5 is a disappointment i'll be happy with what I've got.. which is why I spec'd it out and went individual.

There will be some inventory stock M5's around. If you're looking go with a 2008 MY or higher. I have had my '08 for almost two years (lease is almost up) and have had no problems.. car is rock solid.
 
I'm in my second year of college right now. I figure 3 or 4 years from now when I'm out, 2010 and 2009 M5's will be perfectly aged for CPO, and I'll see if I can get a good deal on one.

Time to start saving up my internship money so I can have a solid down payment. If a 5 is too far out of reach, I may settle on an E92 M3 though. Either way, I want to get my hands on one of these and keep it for a long time.

Oh wow!!! This M5 will be more than great!! I would love to help you out with anything you need for your car!
This will be the best M5 for sure!
How much for HRE P41 Monoblock?

avlnch, I hope you don't go with that color HRE. It will get lost on the car since it is too close to the paint color. You should make it contrast. I think black wheels would be absolutely fantastic.
