Finally an m owner

[mikegto]

Well finally a few weeks ago I got the chance to become an m owner. This should of happened years ago but the m badge just kept eluding me. I managed to get financially into a posistion to get a new toy and after a few persuasive purchases the misses agreed that car number 6 can enter the fold. One pair of jimmy choo's and a Celine handbag and my carbon e39 m5 became a reality.
And I have to say wow! I love it and I'm gutted I waited so long.

Anyway I guess I should post a few pics for approval or not as it may be.
I've had the car two weeks and the mods have started so I'm sorry for the purists who only like oem original standard as that's not my bag.
Thanks for looking/commenting

looks a nice one... i also thought "why did i wait so long for this?" when i bought mine.

can't make my mind up on those wheels. and what are your plans for it?

Nice car, and welcome to the M family.

I am not adverse to cars being modded but those wheels are a bit marmite...

[TheAngryDog]

nice car and good colour, then then I am biased.

Dont like the wheels though I'm afraid, they're gash.

[Patrick Bateman]

The style 65 alloys are one of the best things about the car.

Thanks guys, the wheels are an individual choice and it would be too easy to buy bbs etc like the rest. I'm smitten with them if I'm honest. Plans for the car well big brakes next month (ap's) then some 200 cell cats and prob have some manifolds made for her. Already got milltek cat back. Then a software flash and de limit plus a map. Then aim for a supercharger if I can handle her later on. Trying some yoko ad08r for now see how we go and if I don't find a hedge then all good 😊

@patrick yes they are but mine all need refurbing and I wanted something to make it stand out from the rest. Each to their own I guess

[mikegto]

Maybe this pic makes the wheels a little better not sure.

Snap! Me too to be honest

Need more pic in this thread!

[scarecrow]

Nice one
I got a lot of stick when I changed the wheels on mine. Each to their own I say and be individual.

Fantastic cars. Had my carbon black 01 for 3 years now and to be honest I wouldn't have a clue what to ever change it for.

[mikegto]

Thanks guys finally some positive likes. It's funny I've got other cars but the m gets it every time. You just can't help snigger when you annihilate someone. I think that's why I need the front windows tinting so at least I can hide a bit.

Another pic

The fleet ish two cars missing

Front tints would just turn it into a full-on drug dealer's car.

[mikegto]

Patrick do I know you 😉 I will take my chance, hell the police probably think I am one anyway with all the cars. I can't help having an addiction I can buy them but I just can't sell them

^ I like it

[Patrick Bateman]

I get accused of being a drug dealer by the work mates with just the rear tints.

[mikegto]

The x5 and range are fully tinted and it does make people think you are but it also works in your favour as anyone thinks twice about crossing you 😉
I've got to have the m done tho as otherwise it looks like a van
