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

How are you finding it after a few months ownership?

Loving it more and more each day

Different drive to my old RS6 (V8 not the old V10) and very lively in the corners especially if its not 100% dry lol
