So here is the size of my issues:

You'll have to lose that splitter I expect

Looks like it might be this, so if you get it off carefully you'd could probably sell it for a few quid

Edit - if it's genuine bmw then still worth a few quid too, it looked like a carbon effect to me at first but not sure now :p

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but are those original M763s? They're missing the sticker. I hope you got it for a good price given those interesting mods!

Not an expert in these things, but what are the telltale signs that they are fakes?

The M3 style have the pointy bit at the top towards the window (real ones are only fitted to M3s, and are over £1k for a set so not commonly retrofitted to other cars)
Fake ones on the other hand are much cheaper.

Yeah with that additional splitter it all makes sense now.

What happens if you nose the car in?

Same problem as the dropped 2nd curb is a little higher at the ends so it would absolutely catch most cars. I'll have a look at removing the front splitter as that seems a pretty straightforward win.

The carbon sets are ~1.4k having done this recently. But even looking at mine I still can’t really see an obvious difference, so I’m just surprised someone noticed

I'm a bit sad like that. Splitter on the car + mirrors suggests to me the mirrors are not OEM fit, IIRC they only came standard on the later cars. No one buys genuine to fit unless it's the carbon mirrors which only tend to get put on M cars.

I could be wrong, but I'd be surprised.

Yeah. 2021 Ultimate pack, MBB, Silverstone interior. Owned from new. Not put a foot wrong and absolutely mental.



Takes a 5000 mile Euro trip every year too

Literally my dream (semi-realistic) vehicle to own atm, in that exact colour and spec! Except I do love the white interior

The laser lights as well on the facelift models from 2021 look sensational as well

Yeah, I had a 21 plate M5 Comp and probably still have it if it wasn’t written off by a drunk driver. As you say, it’s a great all rounder. The front seats are fantastic, super adjustable and really comfortable. The boot can fit two large suitcases and two cabin bags so plenty of space. 4 adults can travel in comfort with decent leg room and although the ride is firm it isn’t crashy. The only thing I didn’t like about it is the steering, as it feels dead and the brakes are a bit snatchy and all at the top of the pedal. I had an E63S before the M5 and I thought the steering feel was much better on that and felt that handing was better balanced also the multi plate wet clutch auto was better suited to the car than the torque converter as the changes were snappier but it was built like crap with the interior rattling and creaking at 14k miles. Overall the M5 was a better built car and probably the better car as a daily driver. As you probably know, for what weights nigh on two tonnes, the thing can shift

Amazing! For me its the straight line performance that is just scary as well, 600+ break and the way it seems to build on speed is amazing. And like you said, super comfortable and perfect for multiple people to be in there
 
@naefeart Just an added note be careful with these mods on your car and insurance, it's worth finding what bits you got on added as need to declare.

Owners group on Facebook was very helpful for that for me.

Went on a trip to Ireland with Son and my Mum. 900 miles exactly in 7 days after our Ferry got cancelled and pushed back by 2 days thanks to Amy and her petulance. 900 Miles, avg speed 38.3Mph, consumption 41.4Mpg. It likely would have been higher but we were pushed for time after a slightly late exit from our family accommodation so weren't hanging around on the trip to catch the Ferry.
