New M5 ordered (Uk)

[matx1982]

Well I've done it... M5 has been ordered.

M5 LCI - Alpine white, Full Orange Sakhir Leather
Competition pack
Active security package
Rear seat entertainment package
601M 20" Competition wheels (Silver)
Powered boot
Universal remote control
Comfort Access
Soft close doors
Rear spoiler deletion
Climate comfort windscreen
Reversing Assist camera
Seat ventilation
Split folding rear seats
Lumbar support
Rear heated seats
M Multi-function seats
Adaptive LED headlights
12v sockets
Surround view
Internet
TV function
B&O sound system
Online entertainment
Sun protection glass
Speed limit display
Heated steering wheel

M Performance carbon rear spoiler
M Performance Akrapovic performance exhaust
M Performance black front grilles

M Performance interior carbon trim

Some pictures from the new BMW visualisation system (we were watching in 3D and spinning the car around, opening doors, turning lights on etc.etc.)











Did consider the carbon brakes, but I don't need them I don't think (not tracking it), then again I don't need an M5 either so it's a funny one.

Cheers

order them from Nate or Ilya from IND, they will pain side vents whichever colour u want and you can have inside grill matching body colour, looks very beautiful!

also why would you not get OEM spoiler, its free! get it and stick on e-bay
why not gain 50-100quid and put towards side vents for example!

beautiful spec! congrats!
i would also add alcantara roof, as you are going fully loaded, it wont affect much the overall cost, but will bring a touch to interior!
now its hard-waiting time

Now that's one finely spec'd car

Let me know if you ever decide to sell it

Welcome Matey...glad you've come across.

That 3D system at BMW wasn't working when I chose my car thank god - it would have been proper expensive otherwise.

Huge spec matey..did they reduce the exhaust cost as you had already upgraded to the comp pack?

Had to double check then... but I believe I am correct...
I've ordered the full leather, which includes alcantara headlining.

I did that with my M3, had them remove my spoiler from the factory but never ended up getting it back... makes it easier for them to fit the new one and I've had a very bad experience of badly installed M performance spoilers on that same M3.

Cheers

Cheers mate, no the exhaust was still £6k ish
£1k of that is the tips.

I actually didn't see the 3D until after I had done the deal, I was just questioning how the rear seat screens were mounted. Quite cool though what detail it gives you.

Cheers

Mat

[Stiggly]

Mat - have you got an approx delivery date?. Did you put the M3 in against her?.

[matx1982]

Jan 20th at mo. No have not but wont be keeping M3. Loved that car so hope I have made the right decision.

BMW gave me a brand new M5 competiton this week to play with. It had to be taxed for me thats how new it was. Seemed hard to keep the wheels from spinning at times but the road was 2 degrees and the tyres brand new.

cheers

Get used to the wheels spinning matey...I've come to the conclusion that it's going to be the norm until we get some heat in the spring.

What did you reckon to all that torque on demand?

As you've gone for the 5, will you hang onto the tourer?.

Proper chuffed for you fella

[matx1982]

Ah thought similar... the Astons I test drove did it if they had 500bhp plus... so presumed it's norm for non 4 wheel drive.

Keeping tourer yeah.

Thanks for the links shall be buying some bits I am sure.

cheers

Mat

[EdM5]

Congrats, awesome spec!

[skrambles297]

Fabulous car;now, about that 3D visualisation……How do I find that? Does not seem to be on the BMW website when I was looking for a build.

[Stiggly]

I believe it's only available in the dealership, it's designed to pull your pants right down lol

Matt - does yours still have the chrome accents on the door handles ?. If so I wonder if you can get them colour coded or black


Edit: I've made an effort to research this forum properly and discovered the answers and more in the DIY section....looks like I'm going to be sending IND some of my hard earned.

[Palmnuts]

Awesome spec and lovely colour combo

Notice your comment on the ceramics - like you, I didn't need them, but I was intrigued. In the end, I had nearly every option only M6 and I think the brakes were the best option of the lot (although Comp Pack and B&O runs it close). I feel how good the brakes are every single day and they don't display any of the negative characteristics of earlier ceramic set-ups - they're outstanding right form cold, make no noise and, one of the best bits, there is a total lack of brake dust - the wheels simply never get dirty (from the brakes).

Still, no matter how good they are, it's hard to make a serious case for them when they're so outrageously expensive!

great spec and great colour choice:

Hi Neil, does the paint shield look any different when looking at the car and only feel different, when touched.

[Neil McRae]

almost impassive to spot unless you look for it. it feels different.
