That M5 is awesome!

One thing I've always wondered though about cars like that on Jersey - it must be like having a caged tiger? How do you justify the costs of such a capable machine on an island with a max speed limit of 40mph? Do you take it over to the mainland frequently?

Justify? Kids love it on the Sunday ice-cream run ... wife likes the look of it so sorted. Enough for me smile

You'd be surprised at the number of M beemers, amg mercs, s audis, astons, porsches, evos, scoobs etc on local roads which are at best 'B' class roads in UK terms!

Anyway, I have driven to Spain twice this year as it happens. France which is 1.5 hours away is easliy visited for a weekend for some delicious, lightly travelled roads .... my scooby sti enjoyed the Brittany/Normandy roads to a degree that one might call pure indulgance. Paris is a day trip too if you want to push it, country road there - peage back. Well worth it so far!

I always found the E46 Sport sedans were better looking but these Coupes still look really nice, less dated than an pre LCI E92 imo.

And for those of us that aren't fluent in BMW speak, what is pre LCI?

No way! Oxford Green is my personal favourite but silver is awesome.

I just think they look better in darker colours and silver is the lightest (bar white) and mine is silver!

Picked this up the other week, E63 BMW 650i in Sapphire Black. Originally i was looking for a manual, but ended up getting an auto which i'm actually really liking!









I would prefer it to be a bit lower, such as:

Very nice, but that's a lot lower!

Interested to see if you get bored of the auto, I did!
