I got the OEM M Performance Mirror Caps. Learned from the M4, that they always fit, without any issues. Worth the extra money. I got it from a dealer on eBay. User name bmwofelcajon on eBay. Best prices I found anywhere on the net. I got the exhaust tips from him as well. Packaged perfect and comes directly from BMW.

I dunno...maybe in the future. One thing that i never change on my cars is the springs. I usually would not mind getting the car a bit lower, but can't justify the cost to have it lowered less than an inch. I am not a big fan of when it is lowered way too much. Maybe I will look in to M Performance coil overs that I know they make for the M4...not sure if they make them for the M5 though.

Probably no spacers either. I like the stock look more. To each his own though, most people will disagree with my opinion.

Just added Top Coat to the car. The product is very impressive. I took off the wax I previously added to the car and so far put two coats of the Top Coat on top. The car is very shiny. I will write a full review after I use the product for a month or so. They advertise that you no longer need to use soap to wash the car and that a good rain will wash off 95% of the dirt. I usually hand wash my car every week, so this will be very interesting to see.

I kept seeing the Top Coat ads on Facebook, and was very skeptical. After 2 months of seeing the ads, almost every day, I decided to try it. Just wanted to share my experience with anyone in the same boat. Seems like a great product that works kind of like a Ceramic coating, but for A LOT LESS! Very easy to apply as well. After washing and drying the car, it took about 20 minutes to apply one coat, on the entire car. It like a detail spray.

Car looks amazing!

bdoooh · 08-29-2017, 12:19 PM

I did the same thing as you a couple weeks ago. Traded in my '15 M3 for a '14 M5 ZCP. I feel the same as you about it.. haha.

Yea, After a few months I like this car even more. Very luxurious and awesome to drive. I did miss the fact that I did not have a manual anymore, so I got a Shelby GT350 to make up for that....but I still prefer the M5 over the Shelby. It is a much better overall car.

Nice a Gt350 and an M5? Living the dream over there, haha! Do keep us up to date on the TopCoat. Interested in it for my next car!

SilverRevlis · 08-31-2017, 04:40 AM

Wow, funny reading this as I was ready to move over to an M3. Car is perfect, but I would definitely not tint the windows and show off that interior color, its gorgeous! Think I now need to drive an M5 to see what this is all about.

GladiatorOwner · 08-31-2017, 08:21 AM

The top coat your referring to is the F11 stuff? If so, looks promising.

Yup thats the stuff. I am going to wash the car this weekend and apply another coat.

Ill write a review about this stuff after about a month. Want to make sure that it is as good as my first impressions about are.
