Very nice! Glad to see it will get driven, too. Just keep an eye on that cooling system.

Thanks! It is raining right now, just picked it up from the dealer. They replaced the tie-rod end that, while it passed safety, had SOME play, and they wanted me to have it done. So I did. OEM part. $$$$$
This is the most incredible car I've ever driven. Everybody at the dealership (Chrysler) was commenting on it and how eye-catching the colour is.
I'm very happy with it. When the rain lets up, and I get home, I'll snap some more pics as promised.

OK, got some more pics (sorry Ben, no interior shots yet, wife was in a hurry to get out for a drive, as you can probably tell from the pics).
Pics aren't the best quality. I was rushing.

Yikes, it looks like you parked it way too close to the Expedition! Careful there!

Well the engine shot was taken with me standing between the M5 and the Expedition, so it isn't THAT close! I have a short driveway, and I don't like the idea of the car being close to the sidewalk (for obvious reasons).

I guess the angle in the third shot made it look a lot closer!

Yeah, it does look really close in that pic, LOL!
I'll try to get some "posed" pics tomorrow if I have some time.

wonder how clear corners would look on that car...
Wow nice car.
Engine compartment is very clean. It looks like there are two oil fill caps, interesting.

Gave it a quick wash and then waxed the hood and trunk. Haven't done the car yet.
Also snapped the requisite fill-cap shots

The paint on that is awesome! It really looks good..I would consider tinting the windows.

Yes, the paint is beautiful. BTW, "The Critic" should take note, as this car has a properly installed clear bra on it
The engine is spotless through the fill hole. It was obviously quite well maintained.

The cartridge oil filter is on top of the engine next to the driver side air filter, you may want to use the filer cap wrench to remove the filter holder. If you use an oil extractor you can change oil and filter with getting under the car.
The inside engine is very clean for a 10 years old car, look like previous owner took good care of the car.

Beautiful car!
Is the engine from a 7-series but "M"'d? The engine looks similar to my brother's 740iL except of course the M-Power badge.
Can somebody point me to an earlier topic where he went through the pluses and minuses of buying this vehicle? I really really need to see if I can convince "ourselves" the need for such a vehicle.
