Fantastic cars all round, very happy with mine and I'm biased..... had a 2006 Msport which I had from new and paid R420k for and now on a 2009 Msport Which I bought for R150k 18 mths ago :skit: makes you wonder about the values of new cars!!

I do a lot of traffic driving and get around 9,3l/100km, but when on long trips it has been down to 5,6l/100km but averages around 5,9/6,2l per 100km, which for a car of its size and power is unbelievable really.

I meant congrats on going for a 5 series. It really is the best of all worlds.

Car looks very good, very plain without the sports pack, but really very good.

I'm thinking I should get it :tiptoe:

 

[RAArmstrong]

GET IT

Hope you bring it to the track :tiptoe:

Well, now that I'm getting a big diesel, I can sell the M.. so I'll have to take it to the track.

You may be surprised, the first one I had (mentioned above) I did around 70 laps of Kyalami - gave many a sports car a hammering and surprised quite a few people. May look a bit boat like in dimensions but it does handle well and obviously the torque pulls it along nicely :rollsmile:

Not to hijack the thread but just came back from a 3200km trip to Pta and back and got average of 16,1km/l with my e60 530d. I do not want to sing the car's praises too much as i want to replace mine with a later model by the end of the year and i don't want more competition from you guys when you hear how good the E60's really are! Was thinking of getting a motorsport but after this trip i am quite happy to get the standard model. Mine has the 18inch m/sport wheels with 245/40's on and i must say that it makes quite a difference to the looks and ride, not harsh at all. A very good combination, the looks without the harshness! Still have to make the final decision between m/s and non m/s. M/s looks the business!

I'm not surprised you made an impression with the sports suspension and all that power. :cartel:

True story, the M Sport looks brilliant :blowheart:

 

[RAArmstrong]

It does. I will say though. That on runflats with those 18's and Msport Suspension that the ride can be a little hard on some of the bumpier roads around the suburbs, but once on the highway the ride is sublime and the road holding is epic!

I must say, although I would have liked the look of a M Sport, I'm pretty stoked with it being a non M Sport, many many miles of smooooooooth...

O' yes, I'm buying it :rollsmile:

Indeed, I'll probably get it late next week as I've asked them to fix all the stone chips.

If you sell the m for a diesel we can't be track buddies anymore. :tease:

"bumpy" is like design it is subjective and opinion based. :tiptoe:
