It would be nice if BMW would put wide fenders on all of their M cars.... only M2 and M3/4 have that kind of treatment i believe.
Actually, the front fenders on the M5 are a few millimeters wider than the standard F10. It's really not visually noticeable, though. I don't think there's any difference in the rear fenders.

It is somewhat noticeable if you look actually look at it.
But since F10 is RWD, i dont understand their logic.. but nevertheless i am glad this one treats you much better than the E60

Much, much better than the E60. I'll hit the one year mark on the F10 next month. I've only changed an oil pan gasket and some coolant lines to the turbo chargers. The E60 at the one year mark? Uggh.

As someone who woke up to below freezing temperatures this morning, I'm also envious of your bare legs
Don't be too envious, it's supposed to hit 103F here, today. We are heading for record highs tomorrow and Thursday.
True story, he is one of only 2 Acurazine people I've met in real life.... oh wait there's also @synth19 and @Crazy Bimmer in Illinois..... hmmm maybe a few more
It's been really good. Like I mentioned above, I've only repaired a leaking pan gasket and a couple of leaking coolant lines to the turbochargers. I bought the car with 79k miles on it, and it's sitting at 91k right now. I never worry about the car, unlike the E60 which I worried about every time I started the damn thing.
3rd Dan in TKD & 1st Dan in Hapkido. Took the 2nd Dan TKD test in Korea. Was a senior instructor & featured Demo Team performer when I retired. Breaking the paving blocks picture was the last thing I did the day when I retired. Used less blocks in the demos than in the tournaments. Wanted to be sure they would all break.
Have had a good life & have gotten to see & do a lot of interesting things.

Got some PM's on the messy area in the picture. That is the 3rd floor of the house & a lot, a real lot, of stuff was shoved up there when we did the addition. Its actually worse than what was shown as I cropped the picture. Time to come clean but not to clean it out yet.
Have not gotten around to sorting the keepers from the to be canned. Wife is not happy about the mess so will have to do it at some point.

Ironically, @BEAR-AvHistory , I did TKD at a Jhoon Rhee school that was very Americanized from 1989 to 1993 but never heard that. Cha-ryut I'm familiar with along with all the self discipline that comes with
the teachings. Been a LONG time.
If I dug in my mind hard enough I could probably remember my forms...I remember Exodus and a few other songs in my head pretty vividly.

Did you DIY that or get it done? If you don't mind me asking, how much did the pan and coolant line stuff run you?

Definitely did not DIY those; the oil pan requires an engine hoist. I had them done together at an independent BMW service shop that I trust and the total of the two set me back about $1,700. Not cheap, but I've not had any other issues to speak of and the car has a fair amount of miles on it.
