First ///M

Hi Guys!

I took delivery of my first M car. It's a 2013 M5 Apline White/Silverstone II. I got into an accident with my 2012 605i and the insurance company determined the best scenario would be to total the car. I was sad to part with the 650i because it was one of the best looking cars but it was very impractical and I missed having four doors. I took delivery on May 25th and I did the break in service yesterday. I can honestly say that I haven't driven like this since the day of my DMV driving test . At any rate, the break in period it over and I hope to give it the full beans in the next few days. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the car. It's visually stunning inside and out. The car came pre-installed with the black kidney grille which gives great contrast to the Alpine white, now I just have to get the black side vents, and see what I can do the chrome on the door handles. A couple pictures are below along with a link to an album. Since the pictures, the car was tinted and the Valentine 1 was hard wired.

Good Choice! Great colors. I drove white for 15 years so I gave it a break this time but I love that Alpine white. That is the color my 535i was.

Wow, Alpine White with Silverstone II interior looks wonderful. It's a nice change from the Alpine White and Sakhir Orange I always see.

Congrats once again. And don't forget to order yourself an RPi Exhaust. It'll change your life.

Thanks everyone! I am very happy with the color even though this was not my first choice. I was looking for a Space Grey with Sakhir Orange, but it's a very hard combination to find and I did not have time to do an ED. I still haven't been able to push the car thanks to endless rain. Even normal driving, I get goosebumps every time I press the throttle.
