Depends on your viewpoint

Mine for example is immaculate and covered 13,000 miles and had 3 oil changes but has a stage 1 map, I know for a fact that my car is in better condition than 99.9% of all of the standard M5s in the UK

Second thoughts on the second thoughts ? Possibly

Edit are you near cardiff? I think when you see it you'll love it unless orange isn't your thing. It looks great in the flesh. Interior is what does it for me. There are a couple of orange on orange m5 on AT at the moment btw including the comp pack I mentioned.

I set out to avoid a CP,if you live or have to come into a city then the lowered hangers are hard work for humped and narrow rough roads.I use mine as a daily drive look after it well but don't cosset it like putting into the garage at the first sign of rain.

Have you ever driven a CP?

The lowered stance makes no difference in my opinion after all its 10mm, hardly any difference

I didn't need to as I knew it would be lower, even by just 1cm with 20% stiffer hangers and for my particular usage the non CP was a no brainer for me as 1cm can be the difference between an intact under shield or a cracked one as I have already stated the reasons why.
This is why a front bumper lip or a full length one is out of the question as much as I want to fit one.Also paying that much for a car I want to have a bit of comfort also.

That's quite a bold statement if I may be allowed to say,i'm sure there are quite a few other M's that are just as immaculate as yours if not some more.
How about some more pics of your one as all I've seen is a pic of your rear bumper showing the newly installed exhaust pipe ends

So a turn of events.
I was supposed to go and view next weekend but unfortunately I now am tied up with work, which means I'm off tomorrow to view.

Is anybody able to help and confirm via the reg number the full spec of options added to the car.

They have listed some but I'm not 100% confident as reading some of the terminology used seems off.

many thanks
