Some pics of my year old M5

[AKG M3]

Coming up to her one year anniversary next month and weather was nice so decided to snap a few pics still in stock form before the mod bug bites. Love this car!

Looks super nice; what mod bug bites you got coming?

I have the exact color combo. I recently blacked out the car. Here are a few pics.

Thanks! I've done very minor things thus far...xpel front, opti-coat pro plus, opti-guard interior, tied the exhaust valves open, got the car coded, LED license plate lights and I think thats it. Pretty junior stuff but now I want to do more. Ordered the AWE tuning touring axle back exhaust with black diamond tips. Should be here next month. Then I am thinking tints (30% ceramic), changing the front grills to black as well as the side gills, painting the wheels black, upgrading the air intake and maybe suspension. Not sure on the latter tho, I lowered my S4 and I think I fucked it up so don't want to ruin the M5 and also don't want to scrape all over the place. This is my only car and I drive it daily even in snowy weather in Canada haha. Anything else I should be thinking about?

Looks great man! I am heading the same direction as you. Out with the chrome and in with black out look. That's why I wanted to take some pics with the car looking stock before I start changing it.

Do it. I never wanted to black out. Now I am so glad I did. I love every minute of it.

I have had mine about a year now. Only put 2900 miles on it. Regretted it at first, but after only $3800 in mods of Exhaust, Intake,Springs and Alcanterra interior bits....I enjoy it in alot of ways better than my GTR. Still, a big car. Can't do anything about that.

I knew that background looked familiar. Uoft? I'm stage 2 tuned already and after 5k in mods and other car stuff I'm pretty happy.

I am getting close to 28,000km and the second maintenance already. It's my daily so I've been driving it...well, everyday. I think my experience with the M5 has been the same as yours. I came from an M3 and at first had a bit of a hard time with the car mostly because of the size. However, the more time passes, the more I like driving it. I've ordered the AWE touring exhaust and should be here next week so can't wait to have it on the car.

Your car looks very clean and classy. How much would an intake set me back and is it worth it? Really want to lower the car but I drive it in winter and a bit afraid about clearance, especially the underground parking at work.

btw, nice car collection

Yes sir! Good ol UofT haha

Cool, looks like with a bit of mods the car really comes alive. Got any pics of your car. Wonder if I've spotted you around the city...

Unlikely since I live near sauga I don't come down often. But would be nice to get a shoot with all the m5s around gta there's a handful

[AKG M3]

^ looking good man, Singapore grey was the only other colour I was considering when building mine. A photo shoot with other M5s would be nice for sure. I find I don't see a lot of other f10 m5s on the roads here

[lsturbointeg]

very nice!
