SG M5 Finally Arrived
My SG M5 arrived at the dealer late last night and I got a chance to stop in and snap a couple of photos this AM.
The dealer is about 30 miles away from my home and as you can see from the photo I snapped on the way that the weather here in IL is not the best to take delivery today. With my luck 3 blocks from the dealer and a hail storm or tornado would drop down. So I'm picking up the beast this Tuesday. Can't wait! Car is specs are SG, Silverstone leather (not full), exec package, and I didn't opt for the B&O system. After hearing it I decided it wasn't enough "Bang" for the buck. At first glance the pictures really don't do justice to the color. A lot of members have already mentioned this, but really in person it is a thing of beauty. One thing I did notice is that compared to my 09 M3 with the same spec'd color leather, this leather isn't as gray. Really appears more oyster than anything else. In either case, the finish is just top notch, comfortable and hugs quite nicely. I did point out the missing 2 adjustments (18 vs 20 way) and the dealer agreed this was something odd. They will have an answer for me when I take delivery Tuesday so I'll be sure to share what they come up with. More pics and impressions to follow this Tuesday. Did I mention I can't wait?? |

Congrats! Looks fabulous! Can you please also comment on whether or not you have the "clunk" issue when you take it for a spin. Try out some speedbumps, I'm keeping my finger crossed that the 2013 model year will not have this issue!

Will do. The interstate going home has plenty of make shift patches from buckling in the summer so I'll know pretty quick if there is a thunk in my trunk.

This is my color combination as well only I have aluminum trim and full merino. Picking her up Wednesday.
A lot of people here have gone SG/SO but I really like the Silverstone with Singapore Grey. It is an elegant combination with just a hint of the beast lurking within. Enjoy your beautiful M5. |
