cheers....... just enjoy to be honest.
apart from the obvious extras such as wheels/exhaust, there a bunch of subtle mods on it that really combine to make it stand out in a nice way.... there is nothing i'd like to do to it other than pamper it and drive/enjoy it.
its a stunning car, absolutely what i wanted, a car that is an occasion every time you start it.. definitely glad i ticked the V8 box !

Have u got your own 2 digit reg on now? If so I think I just flashed u out in dromore square. I was in the white transit. Seen the car with the original reg in banbridge and looked really well.

i don't want to be too negative on the E60 M5, as there are probably owners on here that love them.... but i just wasn't impressed personally.
the gearbox (to me) is terrible... better on the open road, but day to day i couldn't live with it, regardless of the 101 settings available, i just felt it was flawed. power/handling was not at all what i expected... so much so, i gave up on a 'road car' giving me any adrenaline and bought a Skoda VRS Diesel !!
fast forward a year.. the V8 (or bigger !!) box secretly wanted ticked...... i test drove an Audi RS4, which was nice, fast...... but 'easy' and not terribly involving to drive (again personal opinion)
i then tried this car... and it REALLY lit my fire... and still does after a reasonable few miles in the last month. TOTALLY drivers focused car, and the engine is sublime, and the only road car i've driven that comes anywhere close to the track/race cars i've driven.
the dynamics of these cars are pretty bang on in my opinion.... i was lucky enough to get a few laps in one of these (E90 variant) in 2011 around Laguna Seca.... and i was absolutely amazed at the shear mechanical grip it had. i had no idea i'd be lucky enough to own one a few years later

Has there? I thought mine was the only one about Cookstown, and a SSII one from Moneymore. Definitely time to sell now, lol
