Couldn't DD the GT4 anymore....

SMURFDADDY · 04-23-2016, 11:53 PM

Last year I sold my M4 for a PDK Cayman GTS, which turned out to be one of the best daily drivers one could ask for out of an overall drivers package. When I had the opportunity to get my GT4, I said "What the hell why not, how much crazier could it be....?".

Well, It was much more of a jump than one could have imagined having already spent the whole year driving the best Cayman you could get from the factory. I love the car and greatly enjoy driving it every day, but there comes a point where overall practicality needs to be considered.

Picked up this M5 yesterday from the folks over at Irvine BMW, and I have to say that I'm so impressed and glad I went through with the decision. The car has an endless powerband and feels like a locomotive!

The Singapore Grey really looks great against the ZCP wheels. I skimped on the Full Leather and the B&O system as they weren't necessary and this M5 on their lot checked off every box that I was after in the perfect DD.

At the moment, I'm only planning for some medium tint, maybe spacers and painted reflectors.

Few pics of the GT4 as well since I figured some of you might ask.

Enjoy!

Amazing garage! Enjoy the M5!

Awesome! A friend of mine is picking up a new GT4 in a month. We're going to the experience center to pick it up. Can't wait to drive it.

Powerbeast · 04-24-2016, 09:03 AM

Congrats man. Just ordered a GT4 as well.

MCarsFan · 04-24-2016, 09:23 AM

Enjoy the M5.. It's a great platform and a beautiful drive.

JNoSol · 04-24-2016, 10:05 AM

Congrats on the SG M5. I have SG with 20% tint, it's perfect. Also, lip and diffuser are a must for an aggressive look.
P.S. Ignore the wheels, I was playing around and mounted my X5M winter setup on it. Obviously the tires are way too big for the M5.

gmfive · 04-24-2016, 10:58 AM

Congratulations on the new M5. Enjoy the "endless powerband", the car is indeed in a class of its own.

///PDDS · 04-24-2016, 01:27 PM

Congratulations! Great color choice

vladberca · 04-24-2016, 02:04 PM

GT4 is more a track car than a DD, so the M5 might be a very good choice!

nynd · 04-24-2016, 03:04 PM

Congrats!
