Photo as asked for, as for one of my girlfriend.....think I will just keep this as a car post
If you look hard enough, you can probably see my dog in the background (we're up there everyday)
Cracking purchase... I'd have had it off Jack at £5k - Didn't think he'd drop the price that much!
A great story and a great choice.
I've had my E39 M5 since 2000, can't get rid of it - brings a smile each time, especially when that 'sport' button gets flicked!! My kids enjoy it as much
Properly serviced and maintained, you'll be fine on running costs. Sounds sorted now, good to know the WD car ended up in a good home...

Nice choice of car. Certainly one of the best looking M5's.
Whereabouts in Cornwall are you? We're fortunate enough to have a couple of excellent BMW independents down here. The best one for your M5 would be Joe @ ARM in Drump Rd, Redruth. There's always a good selection of M cars there and they also have a dyno in house. Hourly rate is probably less than half of Ocean. In fact Ocean charge £105 p.h and ARM are £35 p.h, so definitely makes running cars like these more affordable.

Thanks for the info e21Mark, I'm in Perranporth so not too far away. If you ever see me driving around make yourself known Whereabouts in Cornwall are you?

You might be able to hear me driving around as have had the mufflers deleted ! sounds awesome .If just done 3 trips to cornwall and back to London since I brought it and it has been truly amazing. So comfortable when cruising and a proper laugh on the twisty bits. Also noticed a few extra black lines around some of the round abouts on the A303.......wonder how they got there?????
Reminds me need some new rear tyres.......
Also surprised a Porsche 911 driver the other day, don't think he expected my family saloon to keep up with and then pull away from him at the lights lol.
This car is truly living up to everything I read about. Love it
