About to be new owner saying hi
Well the deal is done and the new M5 is at the garage waiting for me top pick her up either this week or next - just waiting to the V5 for my car to arrive (had a private plate on and the dealer will not conclude the deal without the V5 for my old car).
Pre-reg car with loads of extras for a real knock down price and decent px on my car so happy days. Will post some pics as soon as I can (need to work out how to do that of course) and a spec list also. Any recommendations chaps on what to look for or do once I get her? |

Well done!
I don't know what to look for either really as I picked mine up 4 weeks ago and have only done 40 miles since then which was to take it home! Been overseas since. Make sure you run it in properly - first 50 miles are crucial I believe. Don't go above 5000 Rpm and use the engine as much as possible to brake / slow down... You'll not regret getting this car!

https://www.bmwvin.com/ Head over to this site and put the last 7 digits of your VIN in the box to see what your car has.
I'm also new here and only just picked mine up a week ago. |

Just a taster but she has the following;
Metallic Black Paint Silvestone Extended Leather Comfort Access Reversing Camera Ski Bag/Through-loading system Lumbar Support M Multi-Function Seats Adaptive LED's High Beam Assist Driving Assist Surround View B&O High End System Convenience Pack Competition Pack The list says more but not sure what is an option and what is standard over and above the list above |

Very nice mate!... although the Johnsons Baby Wipes belong in the glove box
How are you finding it after a few months ownership? Turks.
