Few pics of the M5

Ant1 · Sep 24, 2017

excuse the wonky plate. It's not mint but it's very good. I have to remember it's now ten years old. Interior needs a really good clean. It's a odd colour, doesn't photo well but looks great in flesh.

Tracking is way out and wheels need balancing.

Pep · Sep 24, 2017

Love the car, but way too many 5's on the plate

Mr Burns · Sep 24, 2017

Nice.

Only ever been in one once and all I remember is thinking how big the car felt!

Short Norman · Sep 24, 2017

Epic, epic car mucho respect.

I'd have to loose the private plate though. Not too keen on plated that make reference to the car they are on.

Ant1 · Sep 24, 2017

Plates off for the min anyway as can't transfer currently. TBH I was thinking the exact same thing.

massiveCoRbyn · Sep 24, 2017

These are probably my favourite M-car. So so cool.

Waitey · Sep 24, 2017

Cool car.

Terrible plate.

Ant1 · Sep 24, 2017

Does look better on original plate.

leeds_182 · Sep 24, 2017

Lot better on the original.

Cool motor.

Exceptional, Ant.

I know it was a USA/Canda only option but would you have had one with a 6 speed manual if you could?

I'd definitely have a manual over the auto box if they were available here, Due to the cost of them when they go wrong.

A mate had a properly clean and well looked after red saloon, Box shat itself and locked it into R on its 2nd or 3rd time out after he bought it. Gutted as it was a cracking example.

That looks great in the photos but must agree, looks better on the original plate :up:

You said it's not mint? How? Anything you can do over time to get it back to it's best?

Mr Plums · Sep 24, 2017

Thats beaudiful!

Yes it's nice and simple but not worried yet.

Just a diesel mate nothing exciting.

Ian_182 · Sep 24, 2017

Still a cracking driveway though. @Ant1
Have you got a buyer for the 5 Turbo yet.?

marinemackay2003 · Sep 24, 2017

Looks ace

Mr R. · Sep 24, 2017

It needs M5 FKU. [emoji41]

c4pob · Sep 24, 2017

Looks great. Lovely family motor though why the need for 2 estates?

cat171 · Sep 25, 2017

Lovely!! I too think it looks better on the original plate.

As our American friends would say; Wagon Goalz!

I think I can count the number of M5 estates I've seen on two fingers - this being one of them.

Must be very low numbers in terms of production. Either that, or they tend not to end up North!

140 odd left on U.K. roads. Other then mine I have never seen one.

ColinG · Sep 25, 2017

Love these, so subtle and understated, and yet has 5.0L V10, that's just so cool.

Rojer · Sep 25, 2017

Love these, Carbon Black? Whats the plans for it?

Ant1 · Jan 26, 2018

Quick update after covering a few thousand miles.

Car is currently at BMW for a fair amount t of warranty work.

New rear diff
New aircon pump
New abs controller
New rear speaker
New side bolster in drivers seat

New sunroof once BMW have proven to auc that failure was not caused by corrosion.

All under one claim so one excess. As I have said before before, warranty on these is a must. All these issues popped up within weeks of each other. Parts with sunroof are approx 12k without labour.

I have been given a new 2 series convertible for a few weeks whilst work is completed. What a t**t wagon lol.

Still loving the car. Fitted new PSS all round, new steering wheel trim, and had alignment done along with service. Awesome machine.

This is hitting the nail on the head. I'm just glad you have warranty on it!

Epic machines but the above is why I've never had one.

Keep the updates coming [emoji1360]

I know you said about wanting a warranty, but now I truly see why it is a must......... 12k WITHOUT labour!! :fearscream:

All genuine parts and fitted by BMW too tho, best way!

f**k me sideways. These will always remain on my list of all-time cool cars, but it's reading stuff like that that makes me realise that I will never have one!

Short Norman · Jan 27, 2018

Any idea how much the repairs would be from an independent specialist rather than a main dealer.

Obviously the sunroof and seat are a bit specialist

No idea, obviously if buying new genuine parts price should be much the same.

Ian_182 · Jan 28, 2018

Jesus Christ 12k.

mattf4r · Jan 28, 2018

These are a cracking motor but the horror stories of problems put me off ever owning one! People seem to either go trouble free or have problem after problem

My E60 isn’t without it’s issues though

£12k under warranty? Surprised there isn't a max claim amount! That's absolutely awesome to have all that work done free of charge.
Who is your policy with, or did you buy the car from a BMW dealership and covered under them?

They will pay up to the price for the car when purchased and yes its BMW warranty under written via Mondial. Also covers wear and tare up until 100k!
