Finally took the plunge - sold me E60 M5!!

A great sunny day today; I managed to take some pictures after a week of rain

Got it last week....June 08 plater, 2k on the clock. I have done 600 miles in just a few days

Surprised that it came with Cups

And my first mod arrived

If I read the pn correctly (25 11 0 435 849), it's a shift lever boot. I think it's meant for the BMW Performance short shift kit...

SS32 · 10-08-2008, 02:15 PM

Cool, I didn't know the BMW SSK was out yet.

No it's not. All UK delivered M3's with 19" wheels come with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup+. This has been discussed already, ad nauseum.

booforty · 10-08-2008, 02:33 PM

Lovely car mate

hope you are pleased!

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Oh and post more pics please, some interior shots too!

Flying_Dutchman · 10-08-2008, 02:38 PM

Great car - Congrats

"

On the Cup tires - they must be excellent for the occasional track-day, but I would not want to drive them everyday (Belgium can get rainy once and a while

). Already the normal Michelin Pilot Sports (runflat) are very loose on wet roads (as I discovered yesterday in MDM S5 mode

).

Do you miss the M5?

Will post pics after I install it tommor

The BMW performance seats are nice as well and thinking of ordering them. Prices at £800 each

Bolts at £4; and once fitted, you cannot move them again.

Thanks for the nice comments guys

I need to change the tyres - getting a new set of wheels with decent wet tyres

They are really slippery.
