E60 / E61 M5 Buyers Guide
Discussion
The only options really were:
Logic 7 Speaker Upgrade
TV / DVD
USB / Ipod
M-Multifunction Seats
Heated Front and Rear Seats
Alcantara Head Lining
Privacy Glass
Full Leather rather than Extended
167 Wheels rather than 166's
The rest i believe pretty much comes as standard. Auto-Tailgate was standard on all M5's i think but the Auto Load Cover might have been an option. In comparison to the E60 the E61 came with more off the shelf.

The electric tailgate was standard on the M5 Tourers.
There is a USB port (if you have one spec'd) in the lower compartment of the centre arm rest. Thats all you should have other than a 6 cd changer in the glove box (unless youve got aftermarket fittings). Its built into the front bulkhead of the compartment in a really obscure place. Just feel around for it.
167 wheels are the M6 style ones.
Glad you like it mate. Just get those hideous badges off! lol

Do you know how the Hill recognition system works or what it does?
thanks
You mean 'hill hold'? You get 2 seconds of braked front wheels after you release the foot pedal so you dont roll back. thanks
The recognition thing is i think, when on a hill in D mode it should revert to 1st gear rather than 2nd like it would on the flat. Supposed to save the clutch.

Jeez is it two seconds? Tried it today felt like it held for a split second and then rolled back. Takes some getting used to then and the handbrake really is a must.
It doesn't work in N remember. There shouldn't really be any need for the hand brake so long as you are on the power within 2 seconds. Works in reverse also.Eddie
Yes of course not in N, I hit my fathers drive (very steep) and tried to get as close to his bumper but I kept dropping down and had to use the handbrake, I can see this take some getting used to.
Is yours a pig in the morning (cold start) when going into reverse? Proper jerky and kangaroo juice.

Nope! lolIs yours a pig in the morning (cold start) when going into reverse? Proper jerky and kangaroo juice.
I always leave mine running for 5 mins before i do anything, but no, never kangarooing!! The throttle can be a bit lumpy for the first hundred or so meters but all M5's suffer this when cold. Something to do with the Vanos ive been told.
