SLK55 to BMW M5!

Well, I am officially a BMW M5 owner now!

Pics to come!!

 

congrats! new one im assuming? cant wait for pics...

 

Thanks!

I had a crappy weekend due to some personal stuff but this just makes it all better

I'll take some pics tomorrow and upload them tomorrow.
Cheers!!!

 

congrats, enjoy the car

 

Congratulations. I will respect you if it is MANUAL is it?

 

I thought the new manual M5 was the answer to my prayers but I heard you can't turn traction control off?

but if it is a manual you'll pretty much be the coolest person on Fchat.

 

E39? E60?

 

September production cars will have the ability to turn off traction control.

 

Sorry manual fans - it's an E60 with SMG.

 

Welcome to the fold!!...I am sure you will enjoy the Beast..comfort & high speed in one package....having driven both versions IMHO the SMG is better suited for the car...it can be cluncky at "normal" speeds but when you are in P500 mode the car sings....shifts smooth and fast...and the downshifts always let the exhaust note burble which is always a goof.
The 6-speed was in response to us purists...LOL...and it needs that 7th gear if you are really going to stay with these F-Chat Pilots...LOL.
What color??...Merino Leather???..HUD??..Comfort access???..details please!!

That functionality will be retrofitable to the previous cars as well.

 

The car is a MY06 Black/Black with Comfort access and the iPod integration kit.
I purchased it with 6100 miles on it and boy did I make out like a bandit!

I doubt I'll ever buy a high end car brand new again... depriciation is a bi*ch!!!

 

someone please ban him.... Lame, i rather walk than drive a non-manual car!

 

Yes you did!!...look at Autotrader just to get a feel for the price of cars and you will see some BIG depreciation...imagine the guys that paid OVER sticker in the begining just to get in one first!...Congratulations and Enjoy!

I totally hate non-manual cars...but I don't know if I would rather walk than drive one

 

Congrats!!!

 

Yeah, I got an awesome deal considering the mileage and condition of the car.

Thanks dude!
I keep getting the itch to go do some driving.... I'll have to stop and take some decent pictures before it gets dark tonight.

 

congrats on the M5 opie
where you been on a deserted island with no F-chat ? lol

 

Grats! The e60 M5 is one of my FAVORITES, I also drove took an SLK out for a test drive the other day, they only had the 280 on the lot but I liked it, I can only imagine how much more I'd love it if it had the amg oomph

 

Joeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
Long no see bro.. we gotta do a night out soon

The 55 was an amazing car that showed that AMG is more than just big power.
Unfortunately, everyone else was raising the bar while they set about creating a decently handling car.
The M5 to me anyway, in its softest suspension mode matches the SLK and outpowers it - and that's not taking anything away from the AMG.
I just felt it was time for a change.... too many Mercs in my past anyway.

 

Quit asking Joey out on dates and let's see some pics!!

 

Ouch!
Pics after I get home from work tonight

 

Here ya go....
