Wish I could get my hands on any winter tyres to fit to the OEM alloys! None anywhere, I blame Brexit ��

I bet that costs a lot . looks good.
Had my M6 GC comp done, on the A47 a lorry was dropping ballast, wrecked the hole front end through the PPF.
I sold it after it was fixed (10K) lost the love.

Yeah guess nothing gonna stand up to a freak load of rocks sprayed at car lol. I had ppf on my previous M4 comp and 435 before so kinda like it always kept my cars mint and road rash free.

Hey everyone,

Based in London and recently picked up an M5 Comp. Car is incredible to drive and im looking forward to doing some long drives once lockdown is over.

Had the car ceramic coated after I picked it up and installed a Maxton front splitter and sideskirts (I like the look of the gloss black as it matches the rest of the trim and the splitter was fairly discrete which was a big plus)

Also had an unlucky puncture after owning the car for 3 months but as the rears were fairly low on tread it was a good excuse to change the pirelli p-zeros to pilot 4s. Ended up going with 285/30 + 295/30 which im torn as to whether it was worth it or not (speedo being out is annoying).

Well, good to meet you all and hopefully see some of you on the road!

Sounds very, very good Lee and a deeper sound than most unless im mistaken? Love the sound in fact. Have you any more sound clips your able to send over as i think i might pull the trigger on the PCW touch? Im really looking for a deeper growl coupled with the pops and bangs and that has plenty pops/bangs Thanks.

If you have Bootmod3 you can tweak them yourself. I like having some subtle ones but I don’t get why folk want a big series of bangs coming from their car.

Because I have cat delete I don't think this can be changed. All I can do is close the valves to stop the pops and bangs but I assume this has a performance impact.?

Finally, After 14 weeks of what should have been a 2 week delivery I collected My M5C in MBB and Ultimate pack on Friday... A quick tour of a shortened NC500 and I've 345 miles left until the running in service.

What can I say about the car that you lot don't already know..

Its epic, pulls like a train and i'm still under 4500 RPM..


Got a few niggles though. Nearside mirror indicator doesn't work. Its not remembering seating positions (poss user error) And the lights in the BW speakers may be intermittent..

All things to check during its RIS
