Yup
It think they had it for 6 months+!!!
Yeah I think it was a reasonable deal enough to get me out of my most beloved car ever Modded M5 F90!!!

Shout out to Rob Perrin! What an amazing guy to work with in there! I always check with him before pulling the trigger on any new ///M! He rocks! Kudos

Great pics! What was your high level route through the BR mountains?

Stunning scenery. Great car as well!

Nice shoes bro

M5 is a great car, but this one is stunning!
Congrats for the purchase and thanks for sharing the beautiful pics 👍

quick6 · 08-11-2020, 01:15 PM

beautiful car-any other mods planned? I read your earlier review that you feel it might be a little softer than the M5-not a scalpel?

It's quite a bit softer, handles like a coupe, feel lighter somehow! Less precise and I miss CCB's!! I love how M8 looks and the convertible piece of it which sold me the car, really! No regrets but M5 remains to have a very special place in my heart!

Mods! Not heavy on mods this time! It's drop dead gorgeous as as, maybe mid resonator delete, if Remus comes with a good Axleback I'll do it!

It's the most special BMW ///M I have ever driven! No doubt!

Cons! You should consider yourself buying a 2 seat car! Rear seats are a joke! M235 better rear seats! Really BMW?! Didn't know actually! Kids hate back seat, while never complained about M235 rear seats at all!

She's a beauty. Love the color combination.

quick6 · 08-11-2020, 04:11 PM

Coupe's not the best car for kids, that's for sure!

I thought so! But didn't think it garner that much attention! A few friends were amazed at the color in person the other day, and to me honestly it's a "Sakhir oranage" wanna be ?!

Had SO on M5 F10 when it came out first
