After a few years of fun with the clio 172 i decided it was sidetracking me too much from the corsa, and its not praticle to have 2 track cars. the wife was gettingfed up of us using her car to go places, so it was decided to sell the clio and get something pratical.....
the clio went to a new home last night to join this:
for those who know of the ford scene they will appreciate how awesome YUM actually is, dave took me out in it before he left and iv not been in anything like it, so much power and grip!
anyway...
the new pratical everyday runabout....
more pics to follow....

colin, the cossie is a bit to extreme for a daily runabout! 770bhp when running full boost. was only running 1.9bar last night tho, so a mear 650ish bhp!
m5 is such a great car, 400bhp 5ltr v8! love the noise it makes!

i was looking for a silverstone blue one but they are hard to come by, and this one is lowish milage (63k) grey and black leather, widescreen satnav, upgraded speakers, and tv tuner.
the wheels will be getting swapped back to standard very soon, got a set lined up, just need to be refurbed.

Good choice,but not a fan of the wheels.They look like the MV2 reps that are fitted to 95% of E36 Coupes.
Are theese M5s limited to 155??

not feeling aftermarket wheels for it to be fair, standard wheels are the best.
corsa_sport21, yes limited to 155, remove the limiter and itll do 185+!

Yeah i thought that.
Just when ive seen some for sale the owners have mentioned they will do 180+,but they must be talking if the limiter is removed.

markyc, it came from nottingham.
its pretty much standard fitment for m5's ot have an m5 plate.
removing the limiter is a straight forward job, will be plugging the laptop in tomorrow after work, see what we can do, should see another 27bhp from it.

wheels do look alot better in the flesh, car was priced well as it didnt have the original wheels, original tyre sizes tho.
