Finally cleannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Ant1]

Not had a day off since collecting this car, so finally I managed to spend a good few hours on it today. Good time!

 

[JD]

Looks great! Colour is brilliant! Never been keen on those wheels, but personal tastes etc.
What did you use to dress the engine bay?

 

[fez]

wow serious car

 

[The Fatty]

thats proper dirty

 

[_Tom]

Hero wagon.

Do nothing for me visually mind you. In fact I dislike the look of them but that's not what they're about.

 

[Scutch]

Yeah come on Ant, we know you can do a lot better with the alloys

Awesome brick though. I actually really like Silverstone, too. I'm sure it sounds incredible on take off.

 

[Rob]

Echo the wheel comments, but what a machine!

 

[Gally]

Awesome estate. Colour is a bit meh on the 5, prefer dark grey or darker still.

 

[Ant1]

No it's not the most attractive car in the world, but behind the wheel you just don't care lol.

Alloys actually look much better in the flesh, might change the colour but for the min I'm just going to enjoy it as is.

As for the colour, I had my heart set on black, problem is, the ones currently for sale (7x) are not in that great condition, 2nd, this is one of two that has covered under 55k which means the bmw warranty is affordable.

I love the colour, and I also love the shape, I think they've got seriously clean lines for a big old beast.

Anyway, don't waste money changing the wheel colour, find some BMW ones that suit it, buy them, fit your tyres, sell your wheels on.

It'll cost the same as a bloody refurb near enough!

 

[Matt W]

Fantastic.

Bet 98% of people would expect it to be a 1.8 diesel.

 

[Scutch]

The baby M3 can do 4 door in Silverstone, too:

 

[AdDaMan]

Personally I love the wheels. And all e60/1 m5's.

 

[.GAZ.]

Weapon!

 

[Craig]

Awesome mate. What a beast

 

[Wardy5]

Perfect. I wouldn't change a thing [emoji41]

 

[Sir_Dave]

Perfect. I wouldn't change a thing [emoji41]

Neither would I. Instant Bradford if anything is changed imho.

 

[Daniel]

Yep.

Will look like any other 530d with 160,000 miles if it had black/grey wheels.

 

[Ian_182]

The wheels do look a bit bland but that's only because there on every version of E60 ever made so get a bit lost on the M brand.

Lovely car though.

 

[Chi]

Lovely

They're M5 specific wheels, not the MV2's that are on the M Sports!?

 

[Ian_182]

But they are very similar you have to agree and most people would just associate them with the same wheels.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Yeah, they are similar(ish).

 

[AdDaMan]

Similar in that they both have spokes and are silver...

 

[Crybert]

I love it! Also actually really like the wheels. They're big deep concave wheels. I love them and the car. That engine must be one of the best ever. Shame they didn't do a manual!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Shame they didn't do a manual!

They do in the US!

 

[Ian_182]

Similar in that they both have spokes and are silver...

And very similar spokes looks wise and there is 9 of them on each wheel funnily enough

 

[AdDaMan]

Actually theres 10 on one, and 20 on the other.

 

[Ant1]

Lady's, it's just a set of wheels....

 

[jesus]

I love that colour.

 

[Rich-D]

Stunning TBH

 

[Ian_182]

Oh ffs has your Vajazzle fallen off there double spokes and one is a kind of double spoke.
Honestly..???

 

[AdDaMan]

Lol @ vajazzle!

 

[Dan-]

Perfection.

The baby M3 can do 4 door in Silverstone, too:

That's for sale on cutters at the moment

 

[Ian_182]

Link to that please.???

 

[Ian_182]

Just found it myself, boy there are some nice cars for sale on there.
And that Silverstone 4 door is now sold but I'd really like something different like that with all that extra mods done to it... http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=112390

 

[Dan-]

[Ian_182]

[Ali]
