Hi Res pics of my 2013 M5 (Darth Vader colors)

AlphaM · 08-26-2012, 03:31 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I took delivery this past Wednesday, put 500k on it.
I can't say anything that hasn't been said already by other owners.
Now I know why they call it "The Beast".
I almost slept in it Wednesday night.

All my friends that have seen it can't believe how nice it is.
But the best part about the M5 is the driving seat.
The feeling you get behind the wheel is unreal.
I traded in my X5M for the M5 and although the X5M was amazing, this thing is even better in every way.
Can't wait to break it in and get the extra 20% horsepower after 2000k!!!

Gorgeous! Is that Graphite leather?

mdm0515 · 08-26-2012, 05:33 PM

Azurite or Black Sapphire?

max4speed · 08-26-2012, 05:35 PM

Amazing!

Trips · 08-26-2012, 05:41 PM

Congrats! I'm coming from an x5M as well and can't wait until I get into mine, hopefully next week!

BTW, will you using the m5 for winter duty?

hsiaochinsan · 08-26-2012, 06:49 PM

Very nice combo triple black!

Love how the piano black trim looks.

Kind of wish I ordered mine with Piano now.

Nope, not planning to drive it in the winter.
winters here in Montreal are brutal and with all the salt, it's a killer for any car.
You will freak out. this thing is a beast. I just met someone today by luck that bought one of the very first M5's to be delivered in Canada.
He already has 10000k on the car and he says that he did 11.8 at the rac track (1/4 mile).
He says that the car is an absolute beast. He is coming from a modified M6 (with 100more HP) and still finds the f10 M5 faster.
I was glad to see that even after 10000k, he still was crazy about the car.
I can't wait till the break-in period to really push it but already just by pressing it a bit, it goes like a bullet....
Oh and you will not miss your X5M one bit!
Just amazing. Wait, you will see!
Let me know how it goes.

Very nice! Under the light switch there are 5 rectangular button in row for night vision, head-up display etc. What is the button 2nd from the left for?

LAKEOM5 · 08-26-2012, 11:28 PM

Did you tint the front windows and if so what %?

bmwmmm · 08-27-2012, 06:33 AM

Can you post specs, and are those seats black or graphite?

Rob@StrasseWheels · 08-27-2012, 08:57 AM

Looks great congrats!!

Sahs · 08-27-2012, 09:30 AM

Piano black emphasizes the Vader look, no question...and it looks great on your car, congratulations.

Executive package (includes drivers assistant package - in Canada)
Piano Black trim
Full Merino (black - seats are black, not graphite)
Night Vision
standard sound system (bang olufsen not available in canada as of yet)

Tints are 60% front, 65% back (Sun is blocked at 60% & 65%).
I also took the paint protection from the dealer.

btw, the standard sound system is fantastic.
i haven't heard the B/O as of yet but really the standard system I find is just perfect.
