New Owner

Traded my e60 m5 for this 2010 e63. Been a BMW guy forever so it feels like I am cheating on my wife. Different in many ways from the M5 but in a good way. Miss the wail of my V10 with Corsa exhaust but i can get use to the sound out of the e63 pretty easily. Sounds awesome. Mods coming



gone



a few current toys





And a few past toys

congratulations.

by your comments it almost sounds like you prefer the sound of the v10 ???

im a former e60 m5 owner as well (now f10 m5)

i know i still miss the sound AND feel of that v10, even when driving the new m5. how do you find the handling compares between the two?

I haven't really had a chance to excercise the e63 yet so I can't speak to it yet but it is light years ahead of the e55 I almost bought before i got my m5.

Yes, the awesome sound of the M156.

Quite a mint looking Datsun 280Z.

You sure? This is what my M5 looked like when I let it go. I think its a toss up until I make the E63 my own!

Indeed... I'm just not feeling recent 5 series but I know I am a minority on that.

Yours looks pretty good and I'm partial to dark color cars too. But the E class cars are some of my favorite. And for some reason now those white ones with dark windows look amazing.

Love the white.

I just bought a black one today, but I cant really drive it because it's snowing. Can't wait to open her up.

Also can't wait to see your 2nd mod.

Stage 2 complete! KW Coilovers supplied by Advance Performance. Their kit came with adjustable links for the rear to fine to the rear height. Could go much lower but thats not my style. Still waiting on spacers for the factory wheels until I find the right set. Looking for a nice set of 20s but I refuse to pay 2k plus per wheel for the high end stuff. Hoping to catch a nice used set.

You car looks great as is. I considered 20's but the roads around here dictate function over form so 19's it was.

Props to Advance Performance. I got my kit from them as well and they came through splendidly with quick shipping, customer service etc.
