Picked up a gently used 2006 BMW M5 yesterday. 38k miles, CPO for another two years. Fully loaded except Comfort Access. Its good to be back in something with some balls! :)

I had to get something kid-friendly, since I am the bus that takes Campbell to school. :) So two door anything is out for me for the forseeable future.

I *almost* did a new Taurus SHO instead. I did drive one, and was blown away by how fast it was. The AWD works well, and it is loaded with every possible gadget. In the end though, I had to have the 500 HP. :D

I have always liked the look and the stance of a BMW, but have been scared of the cost of parts if anything farks up lol (Thought about getting into a BMW in the past). I love the color as well :tu:

So far I really like it. In normal driving it has plenty of get up and go. Going into 500 mode is rare. :)

Gas mileage could be better (13 in town, 18.5 highway). Small fuel tank. SMG transmission takes a little getting used to.

Maybe I can bring it to the next meet...

Ask me in two years. :D

Like some cars, the M5 needs oil to be topped off between oil changes. No biggie. However, I have put about 1000 on the car now, and it is already asking for oil. OK, I will stop and buy some. Noooooo. O'Reilly doesn't carry 10W-60 apparently. I can either order on the internet, or buy from the dealer.

Ho boy.

Ho boy. LMAO! Thats a BMW for ya :evil I did some research and you can use Mobil 1 synthetic, 15w-50 as a substitute. That 10W-60 is damn near impossible to find!

Yea, not sure I would want to take the chance. If the motor broke and a different oil were in there....
