The ultimate upgrade after Cobb, 500HP!

phil_ · 04-07-2011, 07:18 AM

An M5! I'm sure I'll miss the 335xi at some point but right now I have a permanent grin

Got a hell of a deal, 2008 M5 Black on black, 40,000km (25,000 miles), extended leather, heads up display and executive package.

I know this thread is worthless without pics so here are a few:

Beemw335 · 04-07-2011, 07:27 AM

Very nice car! Enjoy it

Btw mods are probably going to move this though...

335iPSI · 04-07-2011, 08:23 AM

How much did you pay for it? Looks sweet!

Brey335i · 04-07-2011, 08:27 AM

Nice... no 2012 M5 tho?

tscdennab · 04-07-2011, 08:41 AM

Boring...life without mods...

$60,000 Cdn. The market here is a lot different. A brand new 335 with a few options is 60k.

Yeah... no engine mods for sure, 500hp is more than enough for me. Cosmetic mods only.

FBO 335i has better power/weight ratio

Congrats nonetheless !

Graystone · 04-07-2011, 09:54 AM

Life is good..u have a clear responsibility to now enjoy for the rest of us.

marv85 · 04-07-2011, 10:10 AM

Congrats! Very nice man

hp jnkey · 04-07-2011, 10:42 AM

Very Sweet.

Love the interior.

I was thinking of getting one of these at Auction but
I've heard that the M5's are hard on gas.
If it's no big deal, drive it for a while and report back on what your gas mileage is.

I ended up with a 535 instead.

MisterSkiMask · 04-07-2011, 10:50 AM

Nice, it looks like several of us have made this move.

Enjoy, I'll see you at the gas station!

benzo23 · 04-07-2011, 11:10 AM

I dont know if id be using those hankook evo v12 tires in the snow lol

dzenno · 04-07-2011, 11:18 AM

Elie335i · 04-07-2011, 11:35 AM

... the e60 is over dated anyway enjoy it

phil_ · 04-07-2011, 12:49 PM

Thanks for the comments. Gas mileage is horrible, I expected it. Looks like it's about 20L/100km or 11MPG so far. I'm driving it like I stole it though.

There's no snow on the roads

I got a brand new set of PS2's. I had a feeling those tires wouldn't cut it. I can barely hold traction in P500 mode. I might just get ride of them. I'll wait for warmer weather and see.

nafoo · 04-07-2011, 01:00 PM

I can keep up with my roommates 2006 M5 up until 115ish. That's when he starts to walk =P

E92TTKING · 04-07-2011, 01:01 PM

how is it in the snow?

No idea, I wouldn't dare take it out right now with summers on if there was snow.

I plan to get a set of snow tires for this winter but I doubt I will taking it out very often. I live ontop of a mountain! I'm going to buy a winter beater for sure.

dlbrooks18 · 04-07-2011, 01:34 PM

At least do an exhaust mod, so you can hear that V10 scream!

chiaobaby · 04-07-2011, 01:52 PM

nice new beast! That car would be great on those long stretch roads in Canada. My friend has one and fun car to drive but bad as a daily driving machine just because if you always drive like you stole it you will need to feed it more often fill that tank up twice a week in the long run it will get quite expensive at min 10 miles per gallon. I drive my 335i like I stole it and I get average 19-21 city mpg here in NYC I get 33 mpg on long trips on the highway driving 75mph cruise control. M5 has more than double gas consumption than a twin turbo 6 . I give you 6-8 months before you get tired spending 400-600 dollars per month on gas. Hopefully this is not your daily driver.

wtfmateim65 · 04-07-2011, 02:02 PM

welcome to that 10MPG lifestyle haha, my friend drives an M6 and that thing CHUGS petroleum based fluids

Collect that V10 while you can though! Congrats!

achien · 04-07-2011, 02:33 PM

nice car, wished it could have been a MT though...
