I have read about 2 or 3 others who have the same but can't remember their names.
Phish, you should leave m5board alone, I left as there are too many small minded users who get more pleasure from belittling others than they do from informative posts. m5post is a more enjoyable forum to be part of

What about that "neonazi" yewcorner (what a strange bloke he was), he went a bit quiet after the forum turned on him after his abuse but I think he may had had the warning but then it never came back to haunt him...?

Bimmerpost is fantastic in comparison and I've been here since 2007. Sorry OT. OP, keep us in the loop. I expected to be some issues at the start on the M5. Hopefully the fuel pump stays good though... |

See my report http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=655244
Happened to me at 7 km and at about 650 km, twice. My car did go out of limp mode and I continued driving it. Dealership said it was just some error recorded and they had erased it, recommended me using a different fuel. I continue using the same fuel, the car's on 2500 km now and I haven't had it since. If it will happen in future I'll know exactly what to look for - fuel pressure sensor. I linked a couple of threads to regular 5 series forums and it looks like a common 5 series issue. Too bad they haven't found a cure in 2 years and carried that 'disease' to M5. |

Are you required to use fuel that is Top Tier in the UK or Europe?
http://www.toptiergas.com/ I can only use Shell and Petro Canada in Canada. I know some fuels high in Ethanol do not do well in cars that are not desinged for it, our are not. Ethanol is a cheap and crappy octane boost. |

BMW did make a change from February 2012 production to the M5/M6 Fuel injection tube where the high pressure fuel sensor is.

Phish, love & hate your story - My salesman on my first test drive told me that the car has 400 bhp, then on hitting m1, max output jumps to 500, then on hitting m2, it jumps to 560...
Was this Morne?

Having a new toy off the road is nearly as bad as the waiting for the car to arrive. |
