Hope you get sorted with an M5 Just be conscious that if you get/buy a bmw warranty you won't be able to modify the engine/Ecu/turbos etc at all..... They (Bmw) now have devices that can tell if a car has been mapped even if it gets returned to the stock map before going in for an oil service. Therefore voiding any said warranty.....
It tends to be all about engine care with warm ups/cool downs , as M5theonlyone mentions 5k oil services are a must to preserve rods/bearings etc, and as I said low revs upto 2k until oil is up to temp!

thanks buddy, yeah whilst its under warranty i will only maybe modify the suspension and add some cosmetic touches.

i could do with the diameter of the lci steering wheel please if anybody knows it or would run out to their's and stick a tape over it for me.
