First M Car

So I just picked up my M5 last night. First M car, have historically had AMGs.

'16 Alpine White w/Comp pack. Only drove it 1 mile home, so no real impression yet, but excited to learn about BMW/M as an owner.

I typically like to lightly modify, so definitely a tune and maybe DPs/exhaust along with some cosmetic stuff.

Cheers!

Welcome and good luck! You mean that first mile didn't impress you?

Mine was 10 miles away from my home though the seller kindly delivered it to me
Looks like the white M was trailered then reversed on the ramps and was driven the last mile?

Interior is black. Car was pretty well optioned. I think the only one it's missing is CCB.

Sad, but true. Car was trailered to my house, but the rig was too big to unload the other vehicles on my street so it had to go to an empty lot close by. I drove it home, and had to spend the rest of the night working. I will get better acquainted with her this weekend.

Correct.

I wish I could have, but it was almost 2500 miles away. I could have swung a day or two trip, but I'm in PA, car was in AZ and it was too far for me to be able to get away.


But I did get to take pics of the cars they had to take off. GTS was nice looking, for sure.

Thanks for the welcome, and it's funny but my impression of that first mile was underwhelming. But I am pretty sure it's because the car defaulted to efficiency/comfort driving settings.

First BMW, so I wasn't familiar with the controls/setup. I'm excited to dig in this weekend.

You'll have fun, for sure. Once you have your preferred settings, be sure to program the M buttons for easy access to ear-to-ear grins.

Looks great. I'm purchasing a similar spec '14 that is getting a PPI right now and will come home tonight as long as all is well. Enjoy it! I know I'm looking forward to getting mine.
