Got my E60 M5 I think im in love, bye bye 335i

jokergerm · 02-26-2013, 07:04 PM

Well I drove to California and got my 08 M5. With 29k miles for 42k

There is no comparing it to the 335I. I love the instant power on my 335I but the power band of the m5 is priceless. Its the best lookin and most comfortable car ive ever owned.
The looks you get are priceless and it sounds like a ferrari with the eisemann exhaust.

Im half way back to seatte getting 20.5 mpg at 80 mph better then I thought

E90_boostjunky · 02-26-2013, 07:10 PM

thats my next car, enjoy it!

can't wait to see another M5 in the PNW. Congrats!

Seeing you are coming from a 335 it will feel very abnormal and almost dangerous to keep the revs above 6k-8250 but that is what you have to do in order to access the power! I love these engines (I have s65 with 8600 rpm's). Its an absolutely glorious sound and feeling to watch the rev's hang out above 6k when in a 335 by the time 6k came you were flat on your face.

Trying to compare the low end in the m5 and you will be somewhat disapointed

husks002 · 02-26-2013, 07:16 PM

Hopefully you found one with a MT and not SMG!

jokergerm · 02-26-2013, 07:18 PM

Pppp

Yes its a 6speed manual. Would not buy a SMG

Its still got the factory warranty til October. Car was produced on 12/28/08 and not sold til 10/09

GChase · 02-26-2013, 07:21 PM

It's an awesome car in almost every category!! Except its ass. That thing is hideous.

deluxe 247 · 02-26-2013, 07:22 PM

White w/ red interior and a MT!? talk about perfect

jokergerm · 02-26-2013, 07:27 PM

^^ yes according to bmw its one of 10 ever made

Took me 4-5 months to find this combo

No soft close doors but ill trade that for the best color combo ever!!!

Amini77 · 02-26-2013, 07:27 PM

Funny story. The front bumper is fine it was the picture.

The rear bumper had been painted. The car was at the dealer and a sales guy backed into it at like 3 mph and the dealer repainted it. It was documented and looks good.

I was able to tell but only if I got about 2 inches away from the bumper and rocked back and forth in the suns reflection, I was able to spot like 2 tiny fish eyes and factory paint almost never has any

But I bet maybe 1 out of 100 people would notice. The owner was blown away that I could tell

But oh well its dam near perfect for a 5 year old used beast

M3inMG · 02-26-2013, 09:08 PM

Beautiful Car.

Hybrid For Life · 02-26-2013, 09:18 PM

And as an added bonus its already lowered. Stock M5s almost look lifted. I hate that look. Id say its lowered 1.5" or so

Stance is amazing. The car was in much better shape then I expected

Prepare for daily fill ups when you find out how fun it is to red line at each green light and how the exotic exhaust note attracts the hot college babes.

rondocap · 02-26-2013, 09:28 PM

Awesome car, one of the classics. Does the bad rep it gets for reliability scare you? I'm sure it's a little better with the manual.
