watt, I'll be emailing you soon. I wanted to show you the car after I put some of my mods on, but I will show you the bone stock version anyway.

Hey OAK!!! How are you buddy, we need to run the canyons together sometime. Anyway, yes I got another M5 as my daily commuter and I really love it. This time around I am doing a lot of mods on it to make it even more fun.

Some of the guys say that I was faster in the canyons with my 740, but I think that's because I had just had the car for 2 days. I am still getting reacquainted with the car. To be honest with you in terms of lateral grip and overall handling, it is tighter than my 740 but I don't think it handles that much better. This is why I ordered a new suspension for the car.

s2b,
I got Carbon Black with Black luxury. As for how I like the M5, I do think it is still the best 4 door sedan in the world. The new E55 may be faster in a straight line, but it handles like ****.

Hope to see yall soon!

I am not a big fan of RMS. There are too many mixed reviews regarding their work. Also, I believe in keeping the car naturally aspirated.

SP Engineering in City of Industry will be doing my work. You can check them out at <a href="http://www.sp-power.com" target="_blank">www.sp-power.com</a>

They do everything from M3's to Diablo 6.0 to R33 Skyline to 2JZ engined Supras.

If I can increase power by 60 horse or so, I will be pretty happy.

I ordered the AC Schnitzer DFC suspension, which I believe is the most advanced for the M5.

I agree w/ you on keeping the car NA, i'm always a fan of doing it when you have the money and the means. Can't wait to hear your reviews on the suspension! Enjoy!
