What's The F10 M5 Like To Live With Real-world ?

[Schermerhorn]

The LCI M5 which has the M5 badge in the bonnet grill can have its badges replaced with any F10 grille. Afterall, the bonnet and grill mountings are the same across the entire F10 range.

Ebay has some great blacked out versions too for not much money.

Thanks. The piano black interior trim looks really good...... dare I say it but I prefer it to the aluminium in mine!!

Just collected my new M5

MCB and Silverstone , looks gorgeous IMHO

That looks stunning

I'm just not sure if I could have that combo and keep the interior looking clean having two young children (and a dog as of this Sunday!)

It's really very simple.....use the wife's car for domestic duties.

I don't like people in my beast!!

Silverstone does suffer colour transfer very quickly. My original F10 M5 had Silverstone & after only 6k miles had significant blue dye transfer on the seat bolsters etc. Looks stunning but high maintenance.

My Silverstone interior is approaching 50K and to my eyes it still looks good - there is no noticeable dis-colouring from jeans.

Either my eyes need a check, you are a bit too OCD or you need to buy better jeans

I'll drive it bare a...d , that should help, except after a curry mind

I love light leather in M5s especially when contrasted with dark trim like piano or carbon, dye transfer isn't an issue.

Trouble is they are CAST not FORGED, so heavy and prone to damage.
I got the CP pack with the 343M wheels which are forged.

I think you meant to say that the 343m are forged.

I drive mine probably 90% wearing jeans & dye transfer is noticeable on my current seats, albeit far less given they're Sakhir. The Silverstone were much worse & a lot more noticeable, however it was on the base bolsters rather than the base but still not pretty & especially after only 6k miles. Perhaps it's the track driving thus movement in the seat that's causing it.

Dye transfer shouldn't be too hard to prevent if you give the seats a semi-regular wipe.

I can assure you, you won't be disapointed

As mine but I don't have camera/internet/sound which I would add next time. Not sure about the seats and will be interesting to see what they're like when you get it.

I'm driving back from Italy tomorrow in mine and I can't think of a better car (in the price bracket) I'd rather be in.

Lovely spec, spot on especially the seats, they lift the interior and makes the car feel special.
