Bit of tyre shine and then metal polish on the exhausts to finish it off.

I'm going to have to drive it instead

That M5... Really don't understand the dislike the E60 got, it looks incredible!

Clarkson went as far to say that it's ugly! In his M5 review, I never understood that but each to their own!

Another beast. :cool:

£7,995 (including fresh mot, service and newly refurbished alloys).

Welcome the club! I've got the saloon version and I love it. Drinks well but that's all down to how you drive

Not a bad price either. I think I picked mine up for about £6.5k with 17.5k miles on it back in Jan! Just covered 32k now :eek:

What's ownership like Tom, I'd love to have a V10 in my life one day, and I'm a fan of the E63/4 cars.

Hello, sorry just seen this!

Ownership is great so far, the car just boggles your mind at how quick it can be. Doesn't actually feel as big a car as it is feels more like my M3 did. It's a great package, the engine is bonkers my only gripe, as is everyone else's is how it can be frustrating in traffic it feels like it always wants to play. All in all a load of fun and immensely comfy, need to spend longer with it to tell you more

Best bit is pressing the M button and flooring it the engine is intoxicating and can still deliver better MPG than my Maserati ever did

RR looks great, have you any interior pics of it also?

How has the ownership been so far?

Tom|Nbk · 30 Oct 2015 at 16:26

The RR is my favourite, great for work travels just a pure pleasure to drive. It's needed new brake pipes and a coil pack so far. Runs on LPG so not too bad for work. Super smooth and comfy and then there's the driving position. Just a glorious machine.

Looks great, I'd love a V10 M5.

I'm surprised you say that about the size though.

I had a decent test drive in a 2012 M5 with the twin-turbo V8 and thought it felt massive, especially compared to an M3. Not so much when moving along, but the extra width and length was noticeable in the slower bits...

I also didn't like the new engine, but can imagine how awesome the V10 is

The V8 from the E9X M3 is a work of art... along with the S6 from the previous gen, so can imaging the S6-era V10 will be epic

The E39 M5 V8 is pretty incredible too...

BMW have had a habit of making awesome engines until this latest generation (technically very good, no doubt, just un-exciting).

For whenever you feel like a change... have you tried a Panamera?

Tom|Nbk · 30 Oct 2015 at 17:23

It just feels very nimble doesn't feel like it should if that makes sense?

V10 just delivers super car like noise which makes heads turn in confusion sometimes

Cheers buddy.

Am loving the sound of the 5 pot when you get it going.... Is very addictive!

I've probably paid a bit to much for it though to be honest, but the estates with the 2.5t seem to fetch a premium anyway, even more so with such low mileage.

geekman · 31 Oct 2015 at 11:01

I know I sound like an old man, but that range rover would look 100x better with more subtle wheels and a cream interior - something like this:

Tom|Nbk · 31 Oct 2015 at 11:56

I like that interior but wanted black in the RR my M5 already has white interior

Ah yeah... I just think that's typical M engineering... all of the M cars feel a heck of a lot more nimble and lighter than they should do for their weight

My Fiat with a cage etc.

Images are a touch too large so meh

Click the link for many more, as I didn't want to seem to eager and post every single one...

Car is also on H&R coil springs. Everything else is stock.

I agree, bit marmite but not as much of a write off on the looks front as it was made out to be, the M5 has a great road presence. On the other hand, the interior of the E60 is...no words...sorry Tom

Great example, though. Enjoy!

[TW]Fox · 31 Oct 2015 at 18:22

I can't stand pretty much anything about the E60 sadly, which is odd as I'm a huge 5 Series fan.

mrk · 31 Oct 2015 at 18:37

I think it looks more masculine than the F10 M5 and has bulges in all the right areas, but I don't like the E60 M5 wheels, they're too soft looking. Something a bit more brash or sporty looking would make it even leaner looking out of the factory.

Interior quality aside of course

Will · 31 Oct 2015 at 19:09

Like the Abarth 500 featured above, apart from the random side badges, if you want to add more retro then thats fine but why not on the front wing somewhere? Looks so out of place on the side behind the door IMO...
