PAPA SMURF
Just bought this 2006 BMW M5 with only 7000 miles on it. Traded in my 2009 BMW M3 Coupe, 6m which had 21k on it. Uhm. I did not get to drive her yet since I am currently stationed in Korea, but I will be on leave in about 6 weeks. I cant wait. Papasmurf has had window tint installed. Thanks to the wife. Other than that he is stock. I`m not planning on doing anything to the rims. I am a BIG fan of them and will keep them. I do however plan on gettting a Meitsterschaft G2 race exhaust on it. That will be about it. Any suggestions for anything else would be appreciated.

Dude... It's not a down grade at all! Its an upgrade if anything... The 06 M5 has a V10 with 500 hp and 380 lbs of torque. That's about 100 more on both hp and torque then the m3's v8 engine. On top of that, he got it at 7000 miles! Im kind of jealous actually.. I just got a 08 535i... Maybe I should have just looked for one of those! Do u mind if I asked what you paid for the m5?

IMO you will not regret getting a better suspension. I have a E60 M5 with the Dinan Stage 3 suspension and it is so much better. Not saying you have to go with Dinan but definitely get something.
Post a vid when you get the exhaust installed. Would love you hear it. |

That was an amazing find on an even more amazing car. I love the E60 M5, its one of those "special" one offs that we'll probably never see again. The sonorous growl of that V10 is unlike anything, you wont miss your M3 much.

NICE, Nuf said
I like the blue, Nice deep shine I wouldent have an M5 over in the UK, its bad enough having a 530D. My younger brother lives out near you and he has a big engined Merc to drive around in.... |

Fuel... Hmm... I can really say that I don`t care the least about paying gas or the gas prices. I got the car because its in top conditions, and its a V10. Gas money is no issue. Plus I ride my motorcycle more than anything anyway. So there are not going to be lots of miles put on this baby anyhow.
