Nice, very nice...... but something's gotta be done about those M5 wheels. Look too dull and standard...

Stick on the M6 wheels and the car looks sick!

Car and driver also stated that you can't turn the DSC completely off in the 6sp manual (read article), which is completely lame. I'm glad you opted for the 7sp SMG. Any sane person who's an enthusiast would have done the same.

P.S. You also have the 997 Carrera S?! Tell me you got that in manual though, right? haha

Great taste in cars!


BMW actually released a software update to allow DSC to be turned off completely

Congrats, seems there a few E60/M5'ers round these parts. I probably see 1 or 2 a week in my commute from Coral Springs to Hollywood.
