BURTON Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Well it has been 2 weeks now I have owned the M5! Wow is all I can say.. This car is a great car. Drives better than my A3. More fun that R32. I took such a Risk with this M5. Never driven a E34 or even a M5. Just went for and it appears to be paying off. Have now gotten a Owners Manual in English so I have a refference point for things that come up on the Computer and using the car etc. Very useful. Had Avon ZZ3's fitted all round to her yesterday and boy what a difference. So much more grip and power can be planted better. The old tyres where very worn. Even tho this car is LHD I still love it, even more so at the moment as Iam running on German Plates still. The car feels like new. The doors are heavy and solid. This is a truely good car. Now having driven her a few times, I am getting used to RWD. Amazing how easy it is to syke yourself out with having it. Not ever owning a RWD car. Getting used to it is fun, but fun must be controled due to her power and wieght. If it goes round too far its going to expensive depending on where Iam at the time. The noise and sound from the engine is truely awesome not to mention the punch and power that you get! She maybe heavy but boy is this car well manared and fun! Steering is light but not too light, that you don't feel what the car is doing. When BMW built this car they built it Motorsport History and car passion as this reflects throughout the car while driving her and also just looking at her. This car is everything I could of wanted and more has the low miles, the options and fun that I wanted. For under 10k this is truely a awesome car for the money! Its just proves that Big is fun!! Also a big thanks to MCP Motorsport for helping to source and bring back this beast! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
