The Only M5 at the NY Auto Show

ijahman · 04-21-2014, 09:51 AM

My M5 is on display at the NYC Auto Show... At the Ravspec/GT Spec/ Rays Wheel booth on the lower level. Very surprised that BMW had none on display this year...

Seems like the F10 M5 is yesterday's news and has been for a while now. As far as we know, nothing really new for the 2015 model year either. Plus, when they see an F10 M5 like that I'm sure they lose interest. Lol!

Out of curiosity, what benefit do you get from lending them your car to display?

Im sorry but that looks ugly, why couldn't they use a car that is stock and put oem wheels.

Some people think it is a shame that other leave their cars bone stock. Now this particular example is not my cup of tea either, but I can appreciate why someone else might like this.

Given the thrashing - unwarranted in my opinion - that you took on your AWD thread, I would have thought you might express your opinion more gently.

Wrong dude; the AWD thread was @BMWOnlyZone's.

I stand corrected. I confused the two NYers who recently got their cars and my apologies for that. But I still stand by the sentiment.

TheBlackGT · 04-21-2014, 03:59 PM

I saw it two days ago, looks very nice in person. Although I've never been a huge fan of white, I loved the stance and it was pretty clean.

Props to you OP for allowing your ride to be there! Especially when it's not behind any gates or barriers, so anyone can go up to it and touch it.

You get your paint scratched by thousands of people touching it, leaning on it and brushing against it.

Thanks for the kind words... For the way I build my car... Well it's my way. I see plenty of cars on the forums that I would build but at the end of it I respect the vision of said person. The trolls that always come off negative can just fall back...

You are implying there is a right to modify a car. His car is different from the BBS/RKP/IND we are used to and I think it looks pretty damn cool. People forget that different tastes outside of their comfort zone exist, and that's the real shame
