nice looking ride.... how is it on fuel?
|
In town it is about 15 to 16 mpg. On the one highway trip I have taken so far I got 27.3 mpg according to the trip computer.

My friend has an 2004 M3 that we've put a computer into, GPS, touchscreen LCD, etc. Lots of work, but well worth it. It's exciting that we were able to pull data from the Ibus system on the BMWs.

The M5 comes pretty much fully loaded unless you want a park distance controller or fold down rear seats. The 2001 BMWs don't have the Ibus system because I was hoping to move my Apline iPod adapter over to it. Instead I'll have to look into getting a Dension Ice Link, except then I can't use the CD changer (not that it really matters in the long run).
Yeah, I am a fan of manual transmissions and these only come in 6-speed manuals. The new M5s are only SMG right now, and that doesn't seem very sporting to me when you remove the clutch from a manual.

an m5 has been one of my dream cars for a while. It's so sleeper. I've only seen one in person, and now I'm a sad panda.

This has been my dream car since I first saw it come out, and when they finally got to a price that I could afford to buy one I did. I guess it is the joy of being single, cause once I'm married and have kids I might not be able to buy something like this again (of course, once they move out, ... but this is still far, far in the future).

How about a picture under the hood?

Sure I'll see about snapping one
