Bump, added some driver POV photos which may be of interest.

Genuine question, who puts Hankook tyres on the back of an M5?

Someone who is about to sell their M5.

In this case it's his Dad trying to kill him.

But I was surprised that the Hankooks actually got a pretty good review!

To his son? No doubt at a significant discount? Hardly short of cash

somebody who walks into quickfit and asks for "new tyres" please

and just pays the bill, without giving a second thought to what the difference in tyres can be.

Not every M5 owner is a petrolhead.

Would surely be royally screwed over for a set of Pilot Sport 2's at £300 each?

in one of the pictures theres a display on the windscreen (if so nice touch lol)? or is that a reflection...

It's the HUD available on newer BMWs and other cars.

Killajaz · 29 May 2009 at 12:02

yes my father fitted brand new tires before I picked up the car. He is most definitely not a petrol head and I'm perhaps half of a petrolhead. The guy at the garage apparently said they are "decent" tires however you can fork a lot more for "serious sports" tires.

Hoax: It is the HUD (Head up Display) which you see. I have it set so it shows me speed, gear and revs, all you need really

Criminal.

Non petrolheads should be forced to buy 520d's.

do you not find it annoying having a 300km/h car in a country where the speed limit is 100km/h?

Fr0dders · 29 May 2009 at 16:27

i dont

you just find that it becomes very easy to do 225km/h without really trying !

mjt · 29 May 2009 at 16:29

the limit here in norway is 80km/h.
thankfully there are no police

and i mean literally none. the council i live in has 1 police car

I used to go skiing to Voss and the nearest policeman was two hours away!

HUD looks amazing.

mjt · 29 May 2009 at 17:16

it really is, especially when you compare it to the HUD in the corvette :/
