Love the car.

First, sitting in the driver's seat, you immediately recognize the quality of the fit and finish of the car. It truly is a far cry from other BMWs I've owned (including an e60 M5). The interior is a stunning color and is sure to go with nearly all exterior colors. If you have doubts, I would say fear not just as most other members with Sakhir have already stated. The iDrive is really quite snappy.

Driving the car has a very refined feeling. Setting the suspension, handling, and throttle to comfort is truly a pleasure for the commutes in heavy Chicago traffic. Changing all settings to sport plus transforms the car into something completely different. Truly a joy to drive when the road in front of you allows it. The seats are also a dream to sit in. Only complaints are the steering wheel paddle shifters and the sound. I think the paddle shifters should be on the steering column and taller. The sound is definitely muted but can sound pretty throaty at times. The power and torque are pretty much what I expected - not overwhelming but not underwhelming in any way.

From the pics, you can see how Singapore Grey changes with the light. I took one close up of the trim and leather which I feel are pretty accurate. There is a picture of some lights on the door that are just another touch that make the fit and finish what it is. The last pic captures why I love this car - a four-door beast that can gently accept small children when needed.

My SG M5 arrived at the dealer late last night and I got a chance to stop in and snap a couple of photos this AM.

The dealer is about 30 miles away from my home and as you can see from the photo I snapped on the way that the weather here in IL is not the best to take delivery today. With my luck 3 blocks from the dealer and a hail storm or tornado would drop down. So I'm picking up the beast this Tuesday. Can't wait!

Car is specs are SG, Silverstone leather (not full), exec package, and I didn't opt for the B&O system. After hearing it I decided it wasn't enough "Bang" for the buck.

At first glance the pictures really don't do justice to the color. A lot of members have already mentioned this, but really in person it is a thing of beauty. One thing I did notice is that compared to my 09 M3 with the same spec'd color leather, this leather isn't as gray. Really appears more oyster than anything else. In either case, the finish is just top notch, comfortable and hugs quite nicely. I did point out the missing 2 adjustments (18 vs 20 way) and the dealer agreed this was something odd. They will have an answer for me when I take delivery Tuesday so I'll be sure to share what they come up with.

More pics and impressions to follow this Tuesday. Did I mention I can't wait??

My M5 finally arrived and I got to pick it up on Saturday. It has been a few years since I've had a car as a DD, I was worried that I was going to miss the utility and driving position of the X5M that I traded in. After about 100km in the M5 and all I can think is WOW! What a beast! The DCT is amazing, I was on the fence whether to order the DCT or 6MT. Had there been an opportunity to test drive a 6MT I would probably had ordered one, but I am now perfectly happy with the DCT.

From the beginning I was determined to order the Cohiba interior, and I was upset when I learned that the leather coverage with individual interiors was limited compared to the standard color selection. Still does not make any sense. Anyways, I ordered the Cohiba with full leather, and the end result is amazing IMO. At the last minute I also change my mind and canceled the piano trim, I will be looking to do something in carbon fiber soon. Turns out capturing the true color of the Cohiba is pretty hard, I am no photo bug. I think it is pretty close, actual color is maybe a hair darker in person.

I finally got a chance to take a few quality pictures. I figured I’d get them posted before the modding begins. I’ve owned many cars I’ve loved over the years, but I must admit that as a daily driver, this is by far my favorite. I just love this car, and after I get done with it, it should be very special indeed.

Modding so far:

• Clear bra front
• Tinted windows
• Valentine installed
• Painted brake calipers

On it's way:

• IND full Gloss black trim kit
• H&R Springs
• Meisterschaft full system w/valve control
• 21" ADV1 custom built 5.0TS wheels
• Michelin Super Sports - Front 265/30/21 Rear 295/25/21
• Gruppe M Intake
• Last but not least, Dinan Tune when they realease it

While filing her up, I decided to take a few pictures in the rain. The car was actually totally wet and dirty in these picture. I'll follow these up with a real photo shoot set.

Just wanted say hello to everyone here. I gotta admit, I was a lurker before I finally signed up, haha. Looking forward to meeting other members (and their
cars) in person at the socal meet in Jan!

My buddy took these pics w/ his camera.

Just came back from the NY auto show. They had an M6 coupe which I thought was gorgeous. Anybody who has been to the show can confirm if I was singapore gray. BMW guys were busy yapping and I didn't have time to wait around and ask them.
