I understand your headlight comment but feel it's a little out of date. The headlight design has aged well, I agree they were a 'bit much' when the car was first released.

As for the white interior, do I look like I have issues keeping cars clean??

Nice!

Great engine in those M5's

I find myself driving just for the sake of the sound the V10 makes.

 

[wraith]

Haha yes well. White interior is just personal preference due to my laziness. Those V10s sound ridiculous with a decent exhaust.

I find myself driving just for the sake of the sound the V10 makes.

Can definitely understand that feeling.
