Seriously wondering how I can earn more money.

Show a track record of constant ambition and improvement.
Work long hours.
Constantly push yourself.
Gain a professional qualification or an MBA etc.
Have good contacts.
Make use of any opportunities for nepotism.
Be lucky.

I personally like the trim colour and I'd love to see some more detailed interior shots. BMW give the combined cycle fuel efficiency as 28.5, but then who that owns one cares.

Keep the pictures coming!

Simulator - well done for working so hard and buying such a wonderful car. Enjoy every minute of it.

The quality of those images are great!

Anyway, very nice purchase.... I never know MrFox was such a Beemer........ Hmmmm Fan. His first response to this thread had me cracking up!

Again, very nice purchase. Good on you for choosing the best colour imo!!

Gorgeous Motor! Like that a lot!

Lovely car. Front look awesome as does the rear. But there's something going on in the middle bit that I don't like but can't quite put my finger on.

Also needs dropping a teeny bit. I'd also much prefer the V10 or an N/A V8.

This all sounds like criticism, but I don't need to tell anyone that this is a very special car indeed.

Amazing. For me it's easily one of the best cars on the forum without a doubt.

Really? I think I would rather have Spie's Ferrari...or that kid with the inlaws lambo (LOL).

Nice

Don't you know what 'one of' means?

Obviously not, I just think its not exciting enough to be in that category.

Thats just me though.

Nice one OP.

Doesn't matter as the guy said "one of" not "the best"... Anyways....

do you have to take the engine out to change the spark plugs?

Django x2 · 27 Feb 2012 at 21:30

No, it's a V8 so inherently, AFAIK it's quite a compact unit (compared to the IL6s). It doesn't even sit into the bulkhead like the IL6s so should be fairly straight forward to deal with topside engine components.

You thinking of buying a cheap one and flogging it for a nice profit?

Can't find any E60 M5 vs. F10 M5 videos on the net (although I am at work so most links are blocked)... If you're ever in the Midlands, fancy making one with me?

I'm extremely curious as to how they would compare. I reckon the E60 would probably start to catch up with the F10 after about 120-ish, but I'm sure it would be pretty close either way.

Bloody amazing car!

Out of curiosity, is it automatic? Gear stick looks strange. (yes I know nothing about high end cars

)

[TW]Fox · 29 Feb 2012 at 22:44

Yes, it is.

Well, sort of. It's an automated twinclutch manual.

Aeleys · 29 Feb 2012 at 22:46

Never liked BM's but those seats look comfy as!

Twin clutch? eh? Not a clue what that means apart from a mental image of trying to play around with two clutch pedals.

Fantastic in every way. Congrats. See you at the next RR day
