AMG to ///M

[Mr R.]

Such an epic car. Shame you look like a t**t with no one in the back..

I have to be at work for 6am then I finish at 4pm.

See you in the morning, don't be late.

Lol. It's sadly back at BMW. Got the old shitty M5 now

Fcuk that.

I'll take my van.

 

[AdDaMan]

That is awesome.

[Herr Flick]

Considering my mate was drifting his M5 in Germany whilst 5 up and on the phone, I'm hoping I'll do abit better than the merc.

@Hans. What is the retail on one of those keys?

f**k knows but the service fella at bmw said he dreads the day when someone needs a new one.

@Waitey was winning when one of his seats was worth more than my car. I think you might have just exploded baller with a key that could potentially be more expensive than my car.

 

[Herr Flick]

Sadly that key belongs to the 7 series which was a courtesy car. I just have a pauper key.

 

[mace¬]

I'm going to let you off this once, just because its so awesome/not needed/vain/baller. I can guarantee that if you played keys in the bowl at your next party you'd come out of it with the most smoking hot bird.

 

[Bluebeard]

@Hans. What is the retail on one of those keys?

£1800.

 

[mace¬]

£1800.

Thats just mental! How much is the most bog standard model that comes with a key like that?

 

[Rob]

£1800.

You've got to be shitting me? Seriously?

 

[mace¬]

You've got to be shitting me? Seriously?

I was thinking the same. The amount of times I've thought s**t what have I done with my keys. They wouldn't be out of my eye sight at that price!

 

[Bluebeard]

You've got to be shitting me? Seriously?

Yes, but that's list price.

Nobody will ever pay that (unless they're stupid) because it's the flagship model and BMW will want to be seen as the company that looks after it's customers.

 

[Bluebeard]

f**k knows. More than I can ever afford so I've never asked!

 

[mace¬]

f**k knows. More than I can ever afford so I've never asked!

I'd have to lease the key.

 

[Rob]

Yes, but that's list price.

It's more a case of percentage cost of key vs vehicle. That's got to be pretty high!

 

[Herr Flick]

The one I had was circa £77k I think and believe it or not, it was a very low spec'd one.

 

[mace¬]

3% of the cars price is the key!

 

[Herr Flick]

Just built it, £76,075.
That's with no fancy stuff like self parking, rear screens, laser lights, tv, night vision. So easily £80k+ for a decent spec one.

 

[cafcross]

@Daniel is the £1800 before or after coding?

 

[Bluebeard]

Supplied and fitted/coded mate.

That 7 series is epic, lol at the pelvic massage.

Was it a decent drive or was it strangely numb?

It was absolutely amazing to drive. Compared to the old one it's like a race car. Old one was so bad round corners whereas this one is how you would want a big car to be.

I wasn't quick but plenty of torque and so quiet too. Got back in the M5 and thought it was proper 'droney'. lol
Trying to decide whether to paint the grill black. I don't like chrome and everything else is black.

Absolutely on the black grilles! Just pop in and get the proper M performance ones. That way you could always swap back. I hate chrome, just about to get the black side gills for mine too.

 

[Herr Flick]

Think i'll just paint it. Not paying £300+ for one.

 

[mace¬]

£300+ for a grill? Sounds cheap. could get a 1/6th of a 7 series key for that. You must own one of the poverty spec range lol.

 

[ColinG]

Surely there is scope for movement on that price?? I always haggle mine into the deal when buying, but the side gills are only £95.

f**k knows but it won't be cheap enough for me to go with them..

Cracking toys on the new 7 series.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Just because you live in Luton, doesnt mean you need to fit black grilles blud.

 

[AdDaMan]

Black grills look pap man!

 

[Herr Flick]

So you don't think it looks better?

 

[Bluebeard]

Black grills look better, 100%.

However the image they give off is very 'bad manz' sadly.

 

[mace¬]

Same colour as the car tbh.

Yeah but that's the image Rich is going for

 

[Sir_Dave]

So you don't think it looks better?

Nope, i like that the black inner/chrome outer matches the black inner/chrome outer of the BMW badge on the bonnet.
I genuinely detest black grilles on BMW's. I've never modified a BMW away from OEM though, so im probably different to most owners.

[Herr Flick]

I must be a gangsta then!!! lol.
That bottom photo makes it look matte.
