My e60 5 Series

[Stig182]

520i. Ouch.

Please sort out that awful silver section of your bumper and the gashment M badge.

please read the thread in full then recomment.

 

[kpowell911]

For the record I wasnt saying it was in an accident, or wasnt I nice car, I love E60's, I just dont need a car that big. I genuinely like them and wasn't intending to offend.

But yours just looks a little try too hard, and the fact its an M Badged 2.0 you are trying to pass off as a 535 proves the fact youre simply trying too hard....

 

[Stig182]

LOL @ claiming it's a 535i.

Would look good with properly sized wheels. Budget modding on a 5 series ftl

who's any the wiser? engine looks and sounds exactly the same! it's goes well as owt for a big bus with a 2.2 6 cyclinder 24 valve. it's just my problem that some guy was sad enough to go and hpi it for some ghey reason about boasting.

the wheels are only an inch smaller than standard m sport wheels. it's hardly budget modding do you realise how expensive these bridgestone potenza run flats are and 335d m sport alloys?????

I like these cars as I say, and performance would be the last thing I'd be concerned about, but Lets not get ahead of ourselves, it doesnt go well.

And FLOL @ calling someone sad enough to HPI it, when you're the one trying to blag its 535i?

Saying its 5 Series on a Budget Its not a criticism, its the truth. It needs a 3.0 or a diesel lump. Standard.

well it has m sport bodykit? m badge just looks awesome imo. i'm not trying to pass it off as a 535i as theyre identical cars just one is 3.0l, the other 2.2l, it's hardly a massive difference... it's only a model number.

i personally wouldnt own a 535i, i'd rather go for a 545i v8 as the sound and torque is astonishing and funnily enough theyre right in budget.

 

[kpowell911]

Im sure there are more differences than just the lump.

Im not getting into the bodykit argument, its too hot.

Why not get some M5 Side Kidney Grills and a Quad exit exhaust....

i'm not saying its fast just that it goes well for what it is! a big cruiser! top speed is 143mph in the book and 8.8s 0-60mph, it's not massively slow and you can sit at 100mph in 6th and not even hear the engine or have no idea your doing that speed.

 

[kpowell911]

Mate, I know. I like them. My mate has a nice 530, its great, and he looks a baller in it birds think he is rolling lol. Too big for me personally, but I like them. I just dont like people trying to pass 520s off as 535s and Wheels that look they are off the table my nan used to roll her dinner up to her setee.

Most of the critisism is for what you tried to say it was tbh.

As i said the interior is awsome on these cars,its just YOU who has ruined it so far with pram wheels and the likes.

I dont care if a car has 10 owners or one,if its wrong looking its wrong.

And if people like daniel look silly for doing a hpi on a car that doesnt exist in britain, you should have said it was a 320D or something.You quoted an engine that only sells in north america...fpmsl...

520i :dead:

christ thats depressing, as for the 'clio with a bodykit' comment, id rather be in my old 1.2 16v clio than that, would probs run rings around it too :race:

 

[Christopher]

please read the thread in full then recomment.

I did. You tried to fool people into thinking you have something you don't. Funny.

What engine?

535i

 

[keechy]

I personally don't like the wheels because they look to small. the rest of the car is actually nice, but with the M badge, its the same as putting a sport badge on the back of a 1.6 clio with a 172 kit on it. But apart From that just have fun driving it. That is the main.

lol you like that comment uh, i thought it was good too!

you probably will always drive a clio my friend so your on the right track!

 

[Stig182]

I did. You tried to fool people into thinking you have something you don't. Funny.

get a grip pal, tried to fool?! like for what cause?! am i selling it or something? is it that much of an issue in your life right now?

get out of the house off the computer and get a girlfriend or something cause you spend far too much time on this forum. look at your post count for confirmation of this.

theres plenty nice girls out there! :lolup:

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Thanks for proving my point more than I ever could.

Enjoy your 520.

 

[MarcoB]

You weren't joking to start with thats why I didn't laugh and just thought less of you.

Lying goes nowhere.

Enjoy your rep.

 

[Dunn]

lol you like that comment uh, i thought it was good too!

you probably will always drive a clio my friend so your on the right track!

i have a 172 as well as a mk5 gti, have the clio for a bit of fun now and again.

you will understand what i mean once you see past the 'gangster y0' of that heap you have

thanks

 

[Stig182]

You weren't joking to start with thats why I didn't laugh and just thought less of you.

Enjoy your rep.

a small hint of jealousy? maybe?!

 

[Stig182]

lol heap?! right ok! get a life little man.

 

[kpowell911]

a small hint of jealousy? maybe?!

Jealous of a 520? Are you for real!? I honestly wish cars like this didnt depreciate so badly, so mongoles couldnt afford them.

They are lovely cars, but Im not sure they give of the impression you think they do. Especially with a Hamster in a wheel under the bonnet.

 

[Stig182]

why the fuk did i become a paid member on this forum a month ago? wtf was i thinking!!! 95% of you are complete morons! the other normal 5% dont take this the wrong way!

i didnt realise having wheels that I, me yes, ME!, likes was a crime and looked so fukin shocking?

and the m badge well, i'm sure you've all bought something for your car what you personally think looks nice?! maybe some wheels? brembos? stickers? surely!!!!!!

 

[Stig182]

so if it isn't jealousy, wtf is the guys problem?! he's obviously got issues!

 

[Stig182]

LOL. Thanks for proving my point more than I ever could.

please enjoy the 2 grand a year depreciation on your little Renault.

 

[Krispwee]

I don't understand this whole M badge on something that isn't an M car. People who don't know what an M badge won't notice it, people who do know what one is will call you an idiot.

Anyway, swap the wheels as they look terrible and paint the back the right colour and it will be a nice looking car.

 

[Dunn]

Dont understand how you can get on your high horse driving around in that.

you were that embarrased about it you even lied about the engine

 

[MarcoB]

I go to the pub and tell my mates that my new car has 250bhp. They prove me wrong and prove it has half that. I call them cnuts for not getting the joke

Riiiiiiiight.

 

[Stig182]

I don't understand this whole M badge on something that isn't an M car. People who don't know what an M badge won't notice it, people who do know what one is will call you an idiot.

again please read the thread.

the M is my preference as surely you've noticed the M sport bumpers?

the silver bit is in for painting next week along with a fresh paint of all bumpers and sideskirts!

 

[Pete.M]

Wow this is awesome! Firstly, Daniel thanks!

Stig182, what you don't seem to realise is that you came on here in an attempt to 'show off' your new 535 (hahaha) which has an M badge (obviously attempting to fool people into thinking its an M5.) People give there honest opinions, which I have to say I agree with, nice cars in general but a few finishing touches to yours and it's top.

We then find out it's actually a low spec (engine wise) 520 and you have the cheek to call the person who found you out sad! Now take a minute, step back and think to yourself who really is the sad one in this situation.

I actually feel a little sorry for you in the fact that you feel the need to come online and seek the approval of complete strangers for a nice car, but have to lie about. At the end of the day for all we know you might not even own the car! Why not go the whole hog next time and get a picture of someone elses car, maybe a Ferrari and pretend that it's yours?

You also don't realise that a number of people on the forum could happily afford to buy that car (especially being a 520) but they actually own a Clio because they like them!

I wish you all the best in the future and can only hope that your life improves to at least a point where you don't feel the need to lie to people you don't really know online about what car you own.

This.

I think youre issue Stig is that you are kinda expecting people TO be jealous of your car. Forgive me if Im wrong, but you've came on an enthusiast forum, predominated by owners of fun hot hatches, to show off (I mean that loosely, its a forum, we are all on here to show off in some respect) You're big balling motor, but in reality Repmobile 5 Series with an undesireable engine, dodgy wheels and tacky paint, and then are shocked that people dont like it and are getting on the defensive.

As I say, I like them. If my old man came home in one, Id think fair play Dad, but its not gonna appeal to people who like a Clio 172 etc is it?

 

[olihodgson]

well it has m sport bodykit? m badge just looks awesome imo. i'm not trying to pass it off as a 535i as theyre identical cars just one is 3.0l, the other 2.2l, it's hardly a massive difference... it's only a model number.

i personally wouldnt own a 535i, i'd rather go for a 545i v8 as the sound and torque is astonishing and funnily enough theyre right in budget.

Lol at this thread. Was a bit silly saying 535i when they never Meade an E60 over here with that engine. An pretty sure they don't make a 545i either?!!
M badge on any less than M car is a massive No No, so stupid as a 106 Gti will blow you away, which wouldn't stand a chance with a 500+ bhp genuine M5...
Prefer the black grills, wheels need changing DEFINITELY, huge car needs big wheels.
Was obviously not a high end engined model, even without HPi confirmation, your rev gauge and speedo gave that away...!
Don't go dissing clios on a clio forum bud, really not wise!!
Glad you like your bimmer though, I do like a nice E60!!

 

[Daniel]

you pathetic w.anker! cant you take a joke?! FHUCK me this forum stinks! so much negativity, i rekon you must be part of the turini club or maybe the eibach sportline club?!

It wasn't a joke though was it. You were stupid enough to try and make out that the car was something it isn't. If you'd have said 530i then nobody would have said anything. The fact you claimed it was a 535i when they never even made them just screams to me that you are a billy no mates trying to impress a load of strangers on a clio club by bragging you've got M-Sport 535i.

When in fact you are driving a 520i Se. Not even a sport so why try and blag people??

You're a tool.

omg, who am i trying to fool look at my previous threads!

i've posted this car many a time! i've had it over a year! it's always been my second car so i hardly use it and used the 172 to potter around it but i was fed up of it so i sold it last week and put this back on the road permanently.

yes it's a 520i, big deal, the engine is just silky smooth. it's still a straight 6 and sounds immense.

i dont know why i put 535i tbh as i've always referred to it as a 520i. for some reason i put that! i'm not looking for approval but seriously some of the comments from the kids on here, some people go far too over the top with them?

it's a fukin e60 5 series, they are a luxury car, theres nothing to dislike about one. they are epic. i passed my test in 2004 and ever since 2003 when the e60 was brought out i have wanted one.

OK, i'll explain the 'M-P' badge, i had a scratch on the boot when i first bought it and i had a spare m-power badge, i stuck it on, didnt like it - thought it looked gash!, came to take it off and the OWER snapped off and the rest remained solid and didnt want to risk pulling the paint off over the scratch taking it off! i never could be arsed to remove it but i have just ordered new badging from BWM direct for it, so yes it will be gone shortly!

anything else?

Says he doesn't care and is f**king off to Bimmer forums...............Types out massive posts explaining himself...

FLOL!! You are a complete weapon.

I'm out.

Fits 3 series wheels to a 5 series.
Lies about the engine.
Then tries to justify his gash boot badge by claiming there was a scratch there
Then calls us sad for owning clio's...

The kid is a complete chopper. We had people like him at school, claiming their Dad was george Best and they got dropped off in their uncles Escort Cosworth. When in fact their Dad lwft when they were 2 and their uncle is a bin man and drives a Yahama 125.

 

[Stig182]

FLOL!! You are a complete weapon.

I'm out.

check your post count and the 7 years you've been attending clio sport on a night while your gf has been watching tv and banging your best mate as you give her no attension. LOL

now whos a weapon!

I mean wife! the 2 kids are not yours!

You are.

I could be Called Desert Eagle and have a penknife for a penis and i'd still be less of a weapon than you.

Run along little boy, haven't you got some more lies to be telling strangers on the internet?

 

[Rob]

It's just a shame he won't accept the wheels don't look right. I couldn't give a monkeys if he wants to impress, it's just a shame to ruin what is (IMO) a proper wicked and classy looking motor with some tiny (for the car) and poorly offset wheels.

Oh and is my opinion more valid because I don't drive a clio? I hope so.

 

[Daniel]

piss of you bald tw*t! you are so irritating its unreal.

Is that because i'm right? Or is it because I foiled your little plan to try and fool us into believing you have a 535i M Sport?

You choose.
