My business partner currently drives a Vauxhall Vectra Diesel and due to an extra addition to the staff it was decided that the newbie would have the Vectra and he would get a BMW 318 or similar as his company car. Now, he has always wanted an M3 or M5 but could never bring himself to part with the readies. So we go down to the local dealership to sort out the details for the 318 and I spot a brand new M5 out the back, turns out it had arrived the previous day and was to be the dealer demonstrator. However as it had yet to be registered as a demo it was available to buy (wouldn't be available for another 4 months, had it been a demo).

So I set about the task (Jokingly) of persuading my mate to purchase the car, funny thing was this time he didn't take much convincing. He bought it on the spot - Good for him! Now looking forward to swapping the Cerb on occasion - fantastic!

Any M5 owners here and any advice/tips/probs/running in info?
