Congrats on the purchase!

The V10 M5 has a cult like following, but got a bit of a bad rep on the maintenance side. On that note, has the bearings been done?

Make it a manual and all your SMG worries will also disappear! :fencelook:

Love the v10, nothing like the roar of that car! :praise:

Welcome bud, please stay away from bmw dealerships especially with this car. Rather use Tune Tech, they work on dozens of these cars and are well versed with all the common issues and preventative maintaince

If you wish to stay with dealerships (not that I would recommend them for the most part) Go to Zambezi auto in PTA. Werner runs the workshop there now and he is a LEGEND in my books. They'll give you some discount and the guys i've seen work on the cars there 1st hand are decent. Best Dealer experience I've had.

Congrats bud! By far one the best sounding engines ever built, they don't make cars like these anymore.

Wishing you many more happy kilometers with her.
