As for the CC brakes I started a thread that had a number of comments. Basically I see limited down side and yes the up side might be limited to less brake dust and my ability to brag I have CC brakes!
I did talk to Porsche and a corvette guy with CC brakes. As for the May 24th date I saw it on the dealers screen....... Now consider the source.... BMW and we all know how they ave been doing on timing! |

However, there's no way to know whether BMW will actually do something. The M3 was accused of having an inadequate stock braking system as well, though it sounds like the M5 is an even worse case -- though granted the brakes have to stop a much heavier car in its case. Plus BMW might just take the position that "Hey if you want dust-free brakes that don't fade, we now have an option for an upgraded braking system that provides that." I certainly HOPE that BMW didn't cheap out on the stock system just because there's now an upgraded option given how expensive it is, but who knows?

-or anyone for that matter- Can you describe the process of getting a non recommended individual color in the order bank. They are trying to enter mine and are saying that the only thing coming up is standard and recommended individual. I know the frozen colors for example are avaialbe, just need to know the process for getting them ordered. Thanks in advance. |

Ok so I didn't order yet, but I did step 1 of the process and felt the need to share. My deposit is in and I'm just as excited. This reminds me of the day I put down my deposit for my e46 M3 back in 2000 and waited anxiously for 18 months for a second production year SMG M3. I can still remember back then of dreams that I could someday afford an M5 and I guess that day has finally come.
As with the M5 Im going to wait out year 1 to work out any kinks, and Im sure the wait will be tough, but I look forward to learning and sharing more about the car on the forum through you guys as you take deliveries of your's. I plan on having north of 1000 posts by the time I take delivery. And thanks to you guys here I do plan on doing ED as well as PC delivery.

So is everybody putting down a deposit already have an allocation?
According to my dealer he has submitted my info (and the info of two other customers as we'll be the first three for the dealer) into the order bank and is waiting on allocations from BMWNA. Do some dealers already have allocations or are they simply taking deposits to submit a customer into the order bank?

^ Indeed, especially since it seems that choosing Piano Black also causes the steering wheel to be mounted on the proper side.
