Garage List 2010 M5 [9.67]
2016 BMW 340xi M Sport [9.50] 2019 X5 50i M Sport [8.17] 2010 535xi [10.00] 2013 M5 [10.00] 2012 X5 M [10.00] |
More pics of my 'new to me' Singapore Grey M5!
First, I'd like to say that if any of you are "Audiophiles",...and are either ordering a new M5 or picking up a used car,....and have a choice of "B&O System" or no B&O,....Get The B&O! If there is another automobile with a better OEM sound system, I'd like to hear it! It sort of makes me recall the days of my '88 535is,...where I stretched the stock sound system from the OEM BMW system to some 20 speakers,...added 10 to the stock system,...complete with e-Crossovers,...100Hz sub output,...Mids,..Highs, etc. Everything was very neat,....tight,...and no rattles. But I digress back to today, and note that the B&O system in the M5 deserves its own award if you ask me. I could be wrong...
That said,....here are a few pics of my "No Name ///M5" (until I select a new nickname). Note, nothing special,...as there was too much bright sun out today,...need a nice overcast day! Cheers... JMD

looks like a loaded beauty! I've got the HK and love it ... I'm sure the B&O is worth every penny. The acoustics in these cars is pretty good.
What they heck is on the steering wheel? Get that off ... looks like what you'd find in a NYC taxi cab. Love your new ride ... congrats & enjoy!! Last edited by Rearview; 02-28-2016 at 06:13 PM.. |

I knew I'd take a bit of heat over it,...but that's just my choice. It's probably the only mod I'll do the car and in some 3 to 4,...to whatever years from now, the new owner will appreciate that I took care of the leather on the steering wheel,...at least I hope so.

Im with Slammed ... life is too short! I will tell you that i marred the heck out of my 550i's wheel with my CCW. The wheel seemed to heal after some leather cleaner, conditioner, handling and summer heat. I think you may be OCD on this one but its your car and youre the only guy whose opinion matters. Just a shame to have ones eyes drawn to the WalMart cover on your German work of art.

You guys are focused on a steering wheel cover,...something that is quite petty. Don't you know that our precious BMWs aren't made with, ...ah, 100% BWM parts. I'm more concerned about cheap @ss faulty Takata airbag in our cars exploding!

Beautiful car but that steering wheel cover reminds me of my Dad's Oldsmobile Delta 88 when I was a kid.

Exactly!,...you can take a young boy out of the country and make him a United States Marine,...serving his country some proud 30 years!

The look
I take your point about the steering wheel cover....But then you should complete the look;
sheepskin seat covers to project the leather and a good coat of Armor-all to protect the dash and centre console |
