NEW Member Here, Hi !

Greetings. brand new member, just finalized on a 2013 M5. Ive been in the AMG crowd for some time owning 3 AMG over the past 12 yrs. So i had my fun with those for long enough. Looking forward to M5 ownership. Was able to pick up this very low miliage(35k) Singapore Grey beauty this past weekend. Appears the previous owner has already done some tasteful mods(matter of opinion of course) like the front lip, grille, exhaust tips ( although not sure if they are just tips or not). Also not totally clear on the wheels, not the stock ones according to the sticker. Ive been lurking for a bit here so Ive already ordered a few things myself like wheel spacers, carbon trunk spoiler(m performance style) AFE filters and the body color front and rear markers from IND.
Any other suggestions are welcome!
Best!
Fergie

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum Fergie.

You can't go wrong with Singapore Grey on the F10. Such a good colour for them.

Thankns all for the comments!! cant wait getting car tomorrow tires appear to be Bridgestone Potenza RE980 A/S which are really good UHP A/S tires. I had Sumitomo HTR A/S on my AMG and they were awesome but cant get them in ther M5 sizing. but ya definatley needed for western mass.

Potenza re980 will get shredded on the m5 if you're a spirited driver… lol
