Picked this up a few days agoAnd how are you two getting along?
Be honest - they're surprisingly quick right?
What's this down by the seat - a fire extinguisher?
Haven't had the opportunity to test the acceleration, mainly town driving this week.
Yes it is a fire extinguisher. It has it's own supplementary owners handbook. The English section is 9 pages of instructions!
However she does remind me of my ex wife that is less good!

I forgot... About a month ago I put a new MAF in it.
Read stories about e39 M5 guys replacing them at 60/80k as they deteriorate. Thought I'd treat it as its coming up to 100k.
A month in and it's well worth doing, maybe a slight improvement in mpg but the response on a light throttle has improved drastically, I'm really quite suprised. Feels like it's gained a few horses I never knew it had lost, on my local test run 'to the sign' my speed is 3/4 mph faster.
Highly recommended job.

Good luck with the MOT! Mine passed in Novemebr with no advisories.
Link where I got the MAF... http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/381415388819
Genuine Bosch parts, boxed and sealed with the code so can do the online authenticity check.
This is correct for my car and 550's of the same age, 545's and newer 550's may be different. It's easy to check online on the Bosch part finder.
