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! :)

No substitute for German quality. Very nice. :cool:
Nice!!!
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
WOW! I didn't know those cars made 500 at the flywheel from the factory. Very nice ride you got there! 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:Quote:

Sweet ride Garett- that's what I call a grocery getter.:tu:
Garret I have almost pulled the trigger twice on the M5 I will be interested to see what you think
good looking ride: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...
If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?Quote:

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!Quote:
