The car is definitely clean. I do have a complaint about the suspension.
I believe it was done by Platinum Motorsport and personally it sucks. It is noisy and annoying.
Personally I do not think this dealer ever checked out and serviced this car before selling it. After a couple of weeks I now have the service light on.
They never sent me the keys for the Alpina wheel center caps. Without them you can not remove the wheels nor even check the tire pressures since the valvestems are inside. They didn't even have the keys themselves which leads me to realize that the wheels never came off to check brakes and suspension.
They stated the car was "inspected", lie!
After my insistence they got the keys from the prior owner who still had them.
Overall I'm satisfied with the M5 as a clean low mileage 06 car but it appears the car needs a service and I have to check the shocks/springs.

Hamann also makes one but for much bigger bucks.
Checkout Turner Motorsport. They sell the Hartge products.

Hey there,
The white M5 is still in surgery at ASR. The TT S85 engine total build is on going. Many big changes are coming. The E60 M5 world will be put on it's head. Each turbo can flow 650 rwhp.
Got the black M5 because I missed the white one so much and is an awesome DD.
