Thanks. I did enjoy that!

LOVELY AND SHINNY! I like shinny things.
Well done just wish more people looked after cl;assics like that.

Can believe I just called it a classic..... Well it is!!!

[flattotheboards]

That is a very nice example you have there, these are the best M5s imo. Welcome to PH

[Adz The Rat]

2003 you say??
I dont believe you, it looks brand new!!!
Love these cars, will have one some day!!

Was piloted back from Silverstone last night in my newly brake fettled old girl. 95k miles and yet the thunder North was like Thor's first skirmish.

It's stability is directly proportional to 'raption.

I'm looking at a Turner Motorsport software upgrade, limitiere au revoir and allegedly +23 brake: any punters heard of/tried one?

I thought mine was low milage, but looks like yours only has 29,000 miles on it, which is very low for one of these. Normally they've mid to high milages on them, even the late ones.

Stunning!!

[s62]

Very nice!

[PJR]

I'd love a drive in one of these. But i've made do with second best, which was a good passenger ride in one. Loved it Understated but classy looks. Goes like the clappers and makes all the right noises. All wrapped up in a totally practical package. Nicely built too..
Great cars

P,

hi nice motor feller i've got a e46 m3 and i've got the same fault light on my dash too keeps coming on all the time i think its something to do with the petrol ha ha thought mine sunk petrol i bet thats a nightmare, every now and again i have a look at the consumption MPG ammount on the computer and i'm lucky if i get 19mls 20mls to the gallon, thats driving like i'm in a police chase all the time mind but what's your's like you only getting half that i bet,

again nice motor

Hi,

Yes, it was 29000 miles, however out for a drive on Saturday afternoon, trying to find Scotlands best roads, and I passed the 30 000 miles mark.







I'm getting an average of about 19.6mpg at the moment, most of the time I'm just pottering about, however there is the odd country blast too. I've seen 29mpg on the computer on a long motorway run. Your right tho JeffM3, it spends alot of time at the local Shell station. It doesnt seem to have the biggest tank either. My E34 had a bigger fuel tank.

Thanks for the comments.

Stunning location for the schnell.

Mine's just registered exactly 99k as it rolled up today.

I keep reminding myself how sensational the turn in is for such a thunderous great rorter: that B10 V8 I was in recently may have had similar straight line thump but it lies flailing in the wake of this SOB through the wiggles.

It might be slow in, fast out, in the time honoured trad but it's as satisying as firing canon at lines of rebelling Roundhead.

The APs up front remain the default mod, however.

[JaymzDead]

Very, very lovely. Want one!!!

[Jgtv]

In the nicest possible way I hate you!!!!! I am insanely jealous, its a truly lovely car.

[jeffm3]

Thats not bad mpg thought it would be worse than that its about what i get, bet you had a great time on those scottish roads, there a few nice roads in s wales just bloody speed cams everywhere, anyway some lovely pics there fella, hope you have years of happy motoring with her!
