IAHAWK Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 LOL:lol: ...just had the pleasure of picking up my dads new M5. He's in Florida so he "made" me pick it up. This car makes the LGT feel like a Yugo, but it should for the price difference. It’s just an unbelievable car. Every engine should sound this good!!!! Almost every aspect of the car is tunable. For example, you can set how hot you want each part of the seat to get when you turn on the heated seats. Well, I just wanted to share my unbelievable experience with some other fellow car enthusiasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fzanetti Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 That is a pretty model, I hated the 5-series when they introduced them a couple of years ago, but the M5, with those big a$$ wheels, and all that power, hmmmm very nice... How much was it? 100K???? hehehehehehehehehe Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aczwild Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Give it the beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats what I do to Moms X5 everytime I drive it at least.

wukindada Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I know you didn't romp on your dads new car;) Make it a wagon & that's my dream car...always been a huge fan of the M5 Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Did your dad spring for the heads up display, in M mode it displays the tach green-to-orange-to-red. I loved that on the one I drove last month. You're lucky, I got to drive a customer's car after he gave us permission, you get it if you ask your pops nicely.

IAHAWK Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 know you didn't romp on your dads new car;) I was so tempted, but I have too much respect for the car and engine. It only had 4 miles on it. Break in is for the first 3100 miles!!!! The first 1200 you aren't supposed to take it over 5500rpm(funny thats almost redline in the LGT) or go full throttle. After that the rpm limit stair steps up, but i think you can go full throttle. Did your dad spring for the heads up display, in M mode it displays the tach green-to-orange-to-red. I loved that on the one I drove last month. You're lucky, I got to drive a customer's car after he gave us permission, you get it if you ask your pops nicely. The car is fully loaded. Not sure how much I liked the heads up display. I was trying to figure everything else out, so didn't play with it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 That car is pure sex. I wish BMW would not have done that to the back end. +1 for the changes to the front end... those are good.... but the jellybean tails just dont do anything for me. That exhaust is nice though.

IAHAWK Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'll try one in 2 weeks;) Don't do it!!! Trust me....your car will feel like crap. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Don't do it!!! Trust me....your car will feel like crap. =) It's true, after the M5 every other sedan feels like crap for about a month, at least that's how long it's been since I drove an M5. The feeling may last, I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-2.5-GT Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 sweet! I've only seen 1 real one in person passing me on the highway. I did have an imposter a few weeks ago. Nice looking white one. The whole way up behind me i was like thats sweet...then it passed me. Lets just say it had the whole M5 body kit, right down to everything...except he still had his stock 5 series single pipe exhaust...cheap ass!

TSiWRX Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Schweeeeeet! I love that ride. If you're "Stage II" or higher, you've gotta give that thing a run when you get a chance - and, of course, when it's done breaking-in! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutter2k Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 need an fpgreen+ to run with it. m5 dyno http://www.jimmy540i.com/m5.htm above 300w/trq all day long. Looks like a properly tuned legacy 20g would pull from it in an all out race. However, the m5 would aways get the jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
