My M5 "the Blackhawk"

Some pics of my new acquisition. An '06 M5 with 8,900 miles. It has some mods, mostly cosmetic.
Not happy with the Alpina wheels. They are cast and heavy wheels. At 21" dimension the ride is not satisfactory.
My other M5 has been laid up for the S85 TT engine build and I missed an M5 to drive because I love this car so much.

Here are some pics of my new boy. Once I put on the Supersprint headers and ASR intakes from my other car, this M5 will wake up.
It was a nice early evening in South Florida so there are pics of my backyard. Here's where I relax and think.

Looks great, the wheels look sharp, in my perspective. Though being that large and cast I can agree with your point of view. The cool thing about them is that the valve stem is nowhere along the edge of the wheels to be seen because it is located within/behind the center cap if I remember right.

That's awesome though, my dream 4 door.

Perfection. Although I'd remove that 'Ranger' sticker as I think it spoils the murdered look.

Fantastic job mate.

Never been a fan of the Alpina style wheels but they look pretty good with your Murdered set up.

That "sticker" signifies what I bled and sweat for my friend.

Ranger,
Crush has been very busy and not on the forums lately.
Depending on what you are looking for as far as accomodationons go, here are a few suggestions:
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um...image&resnum=1

I have stayed at a couple of these places before, all were pretty nice.
If you plan on bringing your wife, the Portafino in Orlando has a very nice spa and a great property all together, but not as close to the event as the others in the link above.
Hope all is good and congrats on the new beast!

Are you staying one night or two?
