M5 is getting closer

If you look very carefully you can convince yourself that there is a silverstone m5 in the 3rd row on the left. I did. Probably my car.

That pic must be changing as all I see are mini's

Look in the background. There is a big parking deck. That is where it is.

You are funny -

LOL

Take a look at the link in my op now. What are those white cars in front. They kind of look like Chrysler 300s. Maybe just wrapped in the white protective film for shipping. I asked my wife and she said they look like generic cars.
Maybe the cars in front are the incoming ones. Before there were mini coopers.

My SS M5 should be on a boat that now may be in US waters. Car should be off the boat in 5 days, then the VPC, transport to dealer. I gave my M3 what is probably a good bye wash today.

gblansten · 08-03-2014, 05:23 PM

I just did the same thing. Finished the lease early on my 2011 E92 M3 and got a 2014 M5. Never been happier. This car is hands down the most fun of any car I have had. Hope your wait is short.

emkmd · 08-03-2014, 08:27 PM

Thanks, the car will be here soon. I have Been second guessing the decision of the M5 over the new M3 so your comment is appreciated.

You will love the M5. Different than the M3 but great in its own way.

Too bad you can't keep both.

I wanted to keep my e46 m3 when I got my current car, was emotionally attached to it. Not practical for me to keep the e92 although after 6 yrs I will miss it. The M5 appears to be off the Georgia coast, will be at the port tomorrow. I hope to have it by next weekend.

Update: My car arrived at the port last Friday. Apparently new cars clear customs electronically very quickly. If so then hopefully it makes it thru the vcp or whatever they call it now quickly. Ie no damage. Possibly I'll have it by the end of the week. I already bought the seat protectors, kick mats, and one seat belt extender to make it easier for my son to buckle while in his booster seat. Will post pics.
