I came up behind either a 530/535d with the full quad exhaust conversion and M5 addendum near St Neots the other week. He was very keen to demonstrate how quick his car was and chuffed off (relatively slowly) followed by a cloud of soot. There are many cars out there with the M5 conversion done. This chap hadn't done wing mirrors or front bumper and the interior was cooking 5 series, so he'd not tried too hard.

I looked at the mirrors and they looked M5 .. it was quick as wellMy 2005 M5 has a clean exhaust but I get a puff of smoke (not black) when I stick it in M mode, drop a few cogs and sink my right foot, my M3 pals tell me there's a great smell of Super Unleaded (cos they're all behind me 
). The car doesn't get booted all that often and doesn't use as much oil as its reputed to. Maybe its just a characteristic.

This sounds like a good explanation. He was on it.). The car doesn't get booted all that often and doesn't use as much oil as its reputed to. Maybe its just a characteristic. Gassing Station | M Power | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
