I'm now stuck in your situation as being a passenger, I'm really longing to drive.
I'm surprised the M5 has so many service issues. Is it a early production vehicle? |
Thanks for the great words.
Anyways hang on, It surely gets better and you can always imagine that in 2 odd years or so you'll be cruising down the freeway in a Quattraporte!
The M5 is a maintainer's nightmare. Though its been relatively calm these past couple of months even though I cannot drive it anymore since am in Boston doing my Bachelors! Its a 2006 MY which is the second year production for E60 M5's so relatively new but still wouldn't expect this from a car costing <$200,000 (in India).
Anyways, I just wanted to update that the SL has gotten a silver metallic paint like the SLR (supposedly) and my brother has gotten the wheels powder-coated in black/grey. We've also changed both the exhausts (M5 and SL55) to the ones from Eisenmann but I unfortunately haven't had any chance to listen to them. I'll post some pictures of the SL from a recent drag race where my brother had taken part.
