Check that the smg box is in good working order. I think the tappet cover gaskets leak and some have dodgy wiring harness in the boot lid.

Autobahn Isando has a nice clean one with 43K km's on the clock,
I had a look at it as I wanted to replace the one I wrote off last month,
but have subsequently changed my mind and bought a 4X4 instead,

Picked up the car earlier on to test for a few days before i decide what to do. Always loved the shape and must admit i am blown away thus far with the handling , the smoothness of the gearbox, did find it likes to understeer a bit?

Feel like such a toss for only now looking at V10

Any more inputs guys, what else must i check for ?

It doesn't like to be driven slow :rollsmile:

Ask the previous owner to demonstrate the launch control. If he know how, don't buy it. On a serious note, get the full MP history before you buy. If there were no serious issues, go for it. Then do the next sane thing and go GPower. It will knock you're socks off.

Spotted this unusual brownish e60 M on Saturday.

Love the e60 M5 and e63 M6

Damn hows that brown.....

Ok is it me or is this car very thirsty on fuel , i used 1/2 tank with small run arounds yesterday , averaged 22l/100km ?

Is that correct or should it be lower , was mostly using the step stick in manual mode.

Welcome to the club. The thirsty club. Yours is still light, try modded at 30+ liters but then its always in M mode and dsc off.

:fencelook: them very thirsty motors....especially if you poke the pedal too offten.

buy the car, invest in fuel plants, and sign a debit order at the traffic department :idea:

Damn really like this car , didnt want black but was willing to overlook it but damn the fuel bill will be crazy if i average 25l-30l /100km.
