Actually the only carbon fiber in that car is the trim, everything else is aluminum and plastic.

I kinda agree with you and PA on this. If there is anything I would change it would be the wheels. In person they're not that bad...

The seats are what blow my mind. I know its like this on every M5 (I think) but you never get used to it.

Truth be told if I bought an M5, the only mod that car would get would be an air freshener.

Very nice ride. Great color as well, my favorite(white)! Dinan makes really good stuff for the M5..as someone said when I get the M5 the only mod I will get is the air freshener. I'm seriously considering a used M5 as my next vehicle. This makes me wanna pull the trigger.

He bought it with those mods on the car?

Looks good although im not a fan of carbon fiber mods, unless they save weight.

yeah he bought it with all the mods already on it. A guy traded it on a GT3

we had been test driving M5s for about a week or so. Then he called me sayin "dude you are not going to believe what I bought" he was outside when he called me...


yeah I doubt the CF saves any weight. like mclaren stated, most is just cosmetic

They are carbon fiber. And yes, that car is just stupid fun. The "love marks" on the road were created with four of us in the car.

Man, it is just too fun . . .

Definitely a really sweet ride, but those wheels = .

Still, they look like they're 18s so that probably means they allow it to accelerate even quicker.
