Not sure where to post this... So i thought I would share my new car and progress so far..
BMW F10 M5 2014 LCI Spec
Boring spec..
Twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine 560hp and 502 lb-ft (peak torue from 1,500rpm)
Twin scroll turbos / Twin charge coolers
Seven-speed dual-clutch Gearbox
0-62 mph in 4.4 secs
Top speed that is electronically limited to 155 mph (Sucks )
All the usual M5 toys.... Adaptive lighting, Nav, Bluetooth/audo streaming, DVD player, heated seats etc etc
Options I added..
20" Wheels
Alpine White
Sakhir orange interior
Harman Kardon 16 speaker stereo
4 zone climate control
Sunroof
First thing to do is check over on the ramp..
Didn't like the chrome grills. So i bought some M performance grills.
Before
After
Couple shots outside
Seems to like bugs
Popped around to see my little man, he seemed to like the new whip
Washed him again, takes so long.. white was a good idea at the start..
Sleeping with Vinnie (RIP Monty)
I bought a full Eisenmann Pre cat back Race exhaust (removed valves from exhaust) including X pipe. Who's on my facebook would of heard a clip... They quote another 20-30hp gain from a full system due to it being so restrictive removing post cats, silencers and noise flaps with the larger bore system. I will be putting him on dyno to see...
Some general shots..
Plastic
Turbos in Centre of the "V bank"
Front Brakes
Rear Brakes
Keep forgetting to take pictures inside.

As said on Instagram, incredible machines. Genuinley one of the very few cars that has actually shocked me at how quick they are and how well they put the power down. And the noise is incredible. I drove one for about 3 miles and was pretty scared of it

What a car
I must say, however, that garage must be massive to house those pair

It's very tight in the garage... Cheers for comments! Be happy if it was 70k iirc can't even get basic one for that, start at £74k! Start adding options it goes up quickly... Then tuning them is mental, exhaust alone cost £5000 inc shipping
