F10 M5 opinion: Sakhir in and out?
Discussion
Hi all. Ordering an M5 next week and finalising colour options in my head. I'm not one to subscribe to the undercover super car thing I'm more than happy for the beast to be noticed as I plod around. Had a noble a couple of years ago so I'm used to "in your face" cars so to speak.
It's on a business lease so resale isn't an issue I'm looking at the competition pack and Sakhir in and out. I've seen loads of pictures on the net but never in reality. I've spoken to a lot of dealers today trying to find one but apparently after searching their database there currently isn't a single Sakhir M5 in any main dealer in the uk.
I've got a 24hr test drive of a grey one on Monday so am driving to Canterbury in it where there is a Sakhir M3 in a showroom but with black interior. Better than nothing I suppose.
So internet pictures aside have any of you seen Sakhir on Sakhir M5 in the flesh? Even better if with comp pack and wheels. I'm probably going to go for it regardless just looking for a bit of reassurance I suppose.

Thanks for the comments although following my 24 hour test drive I've decided to go for the m4 coupe over the m5. Quite simply I don't possess the self control to own an m5. 250 miles covered average 14.8 mpg and average speed 67.8 including numerous town centres!
The car was astonishingly fast but my issue is its pretty boring up to 70mph just felt massive and heavy, then at 70 changing into 3rd it seems to have some kind of intergalactic hyperdrive warp mode. I mean seriously seriously impressive but I know for sure if I owned that car I'd be doing prison speeds every day, multiple times.
I have 2 kids and need my license. I'll be sensible and go for an m4 fully loaded with mperformance Carbon aero kit.
Much more sensible. Hats of to you lot, either for your self control or evasive abilities.
That's 250 miles I shall treasure forever!
