Hello everyone,
 
	Name is Mike, based in Rayleigh in Essex, UK. I've just recently bought my first BMW, which happens to be an 2006 E60 M5.
 
	Quick overview:
 
	- 2006/06 Model
 
	- Space Grey
 
	- 2 previous owners
 
	- 45,000 genuine miles
 
	- New/replacement throttle body actuators
 
	- Recent new clutch and flywheel
 
	- Has a full clean bill of health from BMW, took it to a local BMW specialist made up of ex BMW technicians and they were very impressed at it's mechanical condition, happy days.
 
	- Black leather interior with brushed aluminium trim.
 
	 
	 
	The police were arresting one of Southend On Sea's finest in the background lol:
 
	 
	 
	 
	I don't really have any plans for it as such, because it's a very clean and good condition example. The only things I may consider doing is buying an Eisenmann race exhaust for it to let out the V10 howl a bit better as I am a bit of a sucker for sound. I'm also probably going to get some RPI intake scoops along with the BMC performance air filters with block off plates, just to let it breathe a bit better.
 
	I very much look forward to getting to know some other like minded owners/enthusiasts on here and perhaps getting along to some meets or events and meeting you all. On that note any other M5 owners on here? 
 
	Regards,
 
	Mike.
 
	EDIT: I've been browsing the forum but struggling to find it. Can someone tell me or send me a link to where/if there is any information about any sort of events or meets in the Essex area? Would appreciate it, thanks in advance.
