Will do. I fly out at 6am in the morning

There isn't anybody out there that "needs" an M5, but plenty of us that have scratched the "want" list and it's well worth the scratch!

My 335i has had all injectors, HPFP, low pressure fuel pump, etc all done. Solid after the first repairs (which was 40k miles ago)

Good luck and I agree, thankfully there's a warranty.

Thanks. To make matters worse my service advisor at Roadshow BMW is a douche. No cutomer service skills. Treats me like crap. Thank God he is on vacation tomorrow.

Ok. Coolant system hose wasn't holding pressure. Replaced and tested and topped off. I hope that is the last time I see the DTM error

As far as the F10 M5 size, this might come as a shock to some, it was definitely a shock to me, that my F10 is the same size as a new Honda accord. A guy at work got a new Honda accord and parked next to me the other day and the cars are basically exactly the same size except that the M5 sits a little lower on the roofline. And a little wider. But the length appears to be exactly the same.
