I was going with silver wheels at first but decided that it would stand out too much against the car colour, the machined part isn't different enough from the ferric grey so they just look all painted, the black ones had good contrast so I switched

Congratulations on the purchase of your new car. Looks amazing, can't wait to see them out and about on the uk roads. I visited my local dealer yesterday about a repair on my 6 (driver behind me in a traffic queue forgot how to use his clutch and ran into the back of me!) and they were soo excited that they have taken delivery of their first M4. Kids in a sweet shop! May you have many safe miles of fun motoring

It should. All E39 M5s (in North America anyway) came with illuminated shift knobs. Are you the original owner? If not, somewhere along the way someone probably changed the knob/etc.

Thank you for that observation, it's been a tough choice for me, as I'm going with SO as well, and I wanted the wheels to not let the car down. I need to really see these in person to have a better idea of what is what. I did seem to notice in posted pics the blk rims were found more on the F82 rather than the F80, this is not scientific but did seem to stick in my memory as such. Enjoy your ride!

These shots make the wait so much more difficult...
Nice choice! The color looks great. Looking at almost the same SO with MT and Adaptive. The only difference from you is that I am looking at the Sonoma Beige Interior. Enjoy your ride! |

Looks nice. Congrats
That's a wild color. Man they have some weird ass colors in this line up. Although the old colors were pretty boring too. I didn't know you could get blue calipers, I like that so much better than the ugly gold. That roof is nice.
