New joiner saying hi
I just picked up my 2013 F10 M5 from Manchester. Had a super fun drive back down and wondering when the excitement of getting into the car goes away ha!
The model is a pre facelift one which was a shame but I didn't to wait any longer and wanted the car before Christmas. Having said that I am super happy with the options it came with and the colour combination. Would have been nice to get Reverse Assist but the excuse I say to myself is to stop being lazy and drive like you've always driven without the help! I've ordered the Cyba CF Exhaust tips and looking to get the exhausts welded from PCW as well on the recommendation of a friend of mine. The next 2 mods I can think of are to a) Get black side markers from IND. Being from the UK wanted to know if there is another supplier I can use as IND is $250 just for the shipping! I also wanted to know what everyone's opinions are on the colour combos, do I go for : - Gloss Black (outside) + Matt black (inside) + Matt black (mesh) + normal LED - Black Sapphire outside instead of Gloss? - Blue mesh (don't know why I am trying to be artistic or if it'll even work lol) b) Potentially paint the wheels to black as well Any other mods or advise people can give? PS. I did soooo much research before buying, reading forum posts, watching reviews and youtube videos etc....my wife will go crazy if she catches me posting on forums too! Had to make some sacrifices so I've given her permission to drive it as well |

Black Sapphire Metallic
Black Extended Merino Leather 20" M Double-spoke style 343M alloy wheels M Multi-function seats. front Split-folding rear seats Lumbar support. driver and front pass. 12V power sockets Telephone USD audio interface BMW Apps interface Internet (don't know how this works) Loudspeaker system - BMW professional Sun protection glass Speed limit display I would have liked the below but can definitely live without: - Reverse assist camera - Surround view - Lane change warning system - Powered bootlid - Heated steering wheel The LED lights also look awesome but the xenons still look good. I saw a model that also had the full Silverstone leathers and it was beautiful inside, however the condition of the car itself wasn't good. Also I prefer the black on black look, hence the search for the black grills etc! |

I love the lowered look but sadly in London with the amount of humps that I am already scraping I'm not sure if I can!
The exhaust welding is from a recommendation - some of you might have used Paul already? Would be interested to hear reviews! |

I have a mate who has an M3 V8 who went to have his done and it is well too loud for me, he went for the what was nearly straight through. Have you had yours done yet? i heard he was booked up for ages. I was thinking of getting mine done, but not super loud just a little bit more fruity. I heard he does an amazing job too, i was thinking of picking up a second hand system off eBay for 250 quid then there is no worries about it and could just change back if it was too much.
