How can you not have a huge big smile on your face everytime you walk down to the garage ??
I know i would even if i had just half of your garage :P, which is the case for many of you posting around here... he is just double lucky to say the least compared to us all. |

No question, very very nice cars. But would it be garage queens? Frozen grey is an awesome color, but it's not so easy to repaint once you get some dent or scratch on it.
And there is no track or open roads in Singapore to really push your car. He will have to go to Malaysia to find the nearest track. Won't the OP be frustrated knowing he has all that power under the hood but has nowhere to unleash it in Singapore? |

You are quite right about lack of tracks here. There was supposed to be one coming up, but the deal has since suffered a still birth due to the company running into financial difficulties. The M5 is likely to be one of my last high performance cars as there is really not much opportunity to use all that power. Going forward, i will be focusing more on feel and handling as those can be enjoyed even without excessive speed. The M3 on the other hand, will serve as my choir with that lovely voice I am praying that M builds a Z4M Coupe!!!

The M5's audio system is decent, but unspectacular. It seemed slightly better than the regular stereos in series BMWs. My M3 has the Harman Kardon 12 (or 10) speaker system and that's really lovely. I am not much of an audiophile and generally only listens to the radio while in the car so it's not that important to me.

Of course, if you earn your money by hard work, there is no shame in admitting you are rich. And I'm glad you can use that money to buy very nice stuff. |

I fully intend to spend my last dime by the time i die. A good education and upbringing are all i am giving my 2 boys. They will have to earn everything themselves I believe in enjoying my life to the fullest. I don't work hard to accumulate wealth in the bank acct. Wealth is meaningless if it doesn't make any difference to my life

I would'nt be surprised if luxury cars outsold "mass market" cars in Singapore. It costs so much to own a car anyway, you might as well get a premium car if you can afford it. There is a somewhat similiar situation in Hong Kong. It's not to the same extent of having luxury cars outselling regular cars as in Singapore, but the ratio of performance-orientated or premium cars in HK is far higher than many other places I've been. It's interesting about your viewpoint, not saying I disagree with, but that's very "Un-Singaporean" (I know because I've been there many times and have relatives there). Chinese societies tend to save alot and spend very little. It's exactly the same in Hong Kong. Few if any people in Hong Kong or Singapore know how to really enjoy life. I'm glad you can. |

Thank you very much for the pictures. Amazing car, congratulations, enjoy it in good health!
I ordered one myself without having ever seen pictures of an F10 in Frozen Grey, I was desperate to see pictures of one. I'm glad to see that I chose the right colour as it gives the M5 a more agressive look. Mine is coming with tinted windows and I'm having the wheels, kidneys and side grilles blacked out, I hate chromes. I'll post pictures when I have it. |

Clar,
Any comments on driving the M5 & M3 back to back? Would be very interesting to hear, if a car like the M3 still offers enough "thrill" when you own the M5. Or is it vice versa? Or with other words; are they different enough to justify keeping them? Thanks for sharing (I changed my order to Sakhir after you recommendation). |
