Welcome and congratulations on the car!
I'd recommend doing gloss black for the grill and the emblems. |

Good to see another Aussie here - I assume you're Sydney based given that you bought the car from Scuderia Graziani? You must have jumped on that car pretty quick as it only got listed late last week. Last edited by AlisterB; 08-31-2020 at 10:31 PM.. |

Yes, depreciation is shocking on M5s IMO - far worse than say the Audi RS6 which was similar money as a new car. Great for used car buyers, less so if you're stumping up for one new... |

Sweet whip! Congrats man! For your ride, my 2 cents is try to be uniform all-around. mixing and matching will look less like the car was made that way. gloss black pops more but if you want a stealth look then go matte black.
I've had 2 f10 M5's - both in white. On my first I wrapped the car in aluminum blue with matte black savinis. it was my first go round and kind of a hot mess tbh. My current M5 I went with carbon fiber look for chrome delete & graphite sv-f2s https://saviniwheels.com/wheels/sv-f2/ but then switched to gloss black sv-f5s https://saviniwheels.com/wheels/sv-f5/ My IG is thef10m5 but I don't really post anymore so I don't have images of my car with it's current look. |

Let me know if you want a hand with any coding changes (iDrive disclaimer removals, start/stop deactivation, alarm confirmation tone, VIM, full SMS message display etc) F10M5Nighthawk.

A meet post lock down sounds good F10M5Nighthawk & Craze - would be good to check out a few other local M5s as you don't see too many on the roads. |

BTW F10M5Nighthawk make sure you tweak the B&O settings. In the standard settings it sounds very underwhelming, but with the EQ tweaked it sounds quite decent.

I am surprised by the amount of Melbournites in this thread. I am in Doncaster and keen to go for a thrash in the hills after lockdown! 😊 |

In terms of the EQ settings, I based my settings on that link and made some minor tweaks from there (such as turning the bass down slightly). Overall I'm fairly happy with the end result (vastly better than the 'out of the box' settings, which as I mentioned before I was very underwhelmed with). Quote:

Never had all windows come up at the same time whilst giving any of my M cars a hiding. That is super weird. Better hang it out in 2nd again just to make sure =D |
