Fixed my transmission
Hey Guys

I fixed my transmission....kinda. I bought a 08 M5! I have been waiting to buy this for a long time. Actually I was waiting for my transmission to go out that way I could justify buying the M. Needless to say I was pleased when the tranny went out at 308,000 miles. I am however having the transimission rebuilt and keeping the X. Because the engine is still strong so now we will see how long the engine can run till it's blown, I am hoping 500,000 miles.

Heres some pictures:

Helga has 55,000 miles and she cost me $41,940.00. And if you thought your X was thirsty, look out the M loves to binge drink. I really like the Space Grey because it doesn't look dirty when it is. I looked at some black ones but it would be too much work keeping it clean. Sell your X and buy the M you will never regret it. It has a never ending surge of power. And you know you are the fastest car on the road.

I like the 535i because of the motor and all the performance mods you can do to it, and there are all kinds of tuners and downpipes to make it very quick. But it will never be an M and I wanted the V10 note. My wife told me I have to wait one year or buy our property first before I can start modify the car. It's going to be hell.

Congratz on the ///Monster! IMO, only thing lacking with the E60 M5 is it's stock torque but nothing a lil' modding won't remedy.

Happy motoring

Yep, the last of the breed indeed that V10.
