Pulled the rear wheels to check brakes and discovered that I now need brakes and tires.

That's bad, maybe check your neg camber adjustment on the rear hangers.

Yikes! Definitely time for some new shoes.

I will definitely check everything out, but I think it may be age related even though they are only 5 year old Michelin PS4s.

This was the passenger side:

most likely combination of both. Typically isn't just a camber problem, check the toe, this is what wear tires off, and I agreed being 5yo tire, could contribute to the wear.

5 yo tires shouldn't make a difference and you have PS4S also I think, which are the best. If it's not a bad batch of tires at the time then it looks like overheating damage to me so could be toe in wear as you say.
We have yearly inspections by law here to check for roadworthiness.

New to the forum and just picked up my first BMW. Original owner didn’t even have tint so I got the windows tinted and added wheel spacers.

A little bubble bath today

Congrats on the car purchase and welcome to the forum.

Looks to be in great condition. Love the BMW Individual colour too (I'm a sucker for a unique spec).

Appreciate it! I actually had no idea it was an individual color until someone told me the color is pyrite.

I just ran into my first issue and wanted to see if you have any experience. My wife drove the vehicle for first time and she killed the battery not realizing to press start/stop button twice.

Shortly after that I have lost all internal audio (chimes, radio etc). So I disconnected the battery to try and reset then charged with ctek trickle charger, checked fuses and still no audio. So I had a technician check for codes and he said a few popped up most likely due to low voltage issues, which he ended up resetting. He told me to drive the vehicle and see if that works. Fingers crossed

Yep, Pyrite is a very rare colour on the F10 M5s. Means you have something very unique on your hands.

Low battery state related issues can cause all kinds of weird and wonderful electrical issues in these cars. If giving the battery a good charge and clearing the codes doesn't resolve the problems it'd be worth getting the condition of your battery checked out (a battery health report with an appropriate tester).

Will do thx! I had our tech check for codes again and he said 3 systems were not reset/ready yet so he told me to drive it more and he will test again in a few days. So far I’ve driven roughly 50 miles.
