    I take mine to BM Workshop.  They are reasonable, but rather busy.  Probably about 600 for a service as it takes 9L of fairy princess oil.

    Fuel economy is terrible.  I get 5.0km/l if I use it on my daily commute from Ranui to CBD.  On the open road it gets to about 7.2 which I can live with.  Sadly my 535i uses literally half the amount of fuel.

    Downshifting I think it's optimal to just let the trans downshift itself when coming to a stop.

    Hey guys

    I have owned the e60 m5 for a couple of months now. I have a couple of questions-

    1) I want to get it serviced. Its has done 71,500 Ks.  Any recommendations where is the best place to get a service done in Auckland? Also does it needs just an oil/filter change or any other service as well. 

    2) Economy- i know that v10 is a thirsty engine but any recommendations on how to get a better gas milege. I am averaging 4.5 - 5.0 km/litre.

    3) Do you downshift when coming to a complete stop(as the car downshifts itself) 

    Thanks in advance

    @BM WORLD- Thanks dude but I will leave it for now. I went and got the mufflers delted yesterday. Its really loud but , I love the sound it makes after 3-4 thousand revs. Sounds similar to a gallardo.

    Nice one.  Do you get much drone?  Mine is miss firing on a cylinder.  Suspect it's an injector fault but waiting to hear back.  Could be Keen on the 2nd December meeting up.

    Only when its cold but otherwise not really. I’ve realised one thing after doing a muffler delete is - love it or hate it but you just can’t ignore it haha. Hope you get your car sorted bro. I am keen for the 2dec meet up.

    Go with the muffler delete and work from there.  I got straight through mufflers fitted but I think no mufflers is probably better as the mufflers seem to have a bit of rasp and a bit of drone.

    When I get mine back I am going to get the secondary cat's deleted to see how that goes.

    "Performance" exhausts cost a few grand, which is about 10% of the value of the car, not worth it in my books.

    @GorGasm- I would definitely agree with you bro, I was looking at online forums in states and they have super sprint, Dinan or eisemann exahusts which cost around 3-4k US$$. In Nz I am not sure if they have these. The ones listed on trademe are like 7-10k which is not worth it at all. I went and got the mufflers deleted today. Trust me it sounds like a lambo after 4 thousand revs. It is very loud haha but I am not complaining and loud in sort of good way, doesn’t sounds like a cheap car with a big exhaust on it.

    what happend to your car bro?

    Thumbs up for LCI. Been looking for one myself. ?

    Thanks @dr_kahu I have been after a specific one for almost year and half. I wanted black ext with black int and silver carbon fibre trim. Active seat bolsters, LCI etc. They are hard to find but I am sure you’ll find one.

    Delete the mufflers or get some straight through ones fitted.  Cost you up to a grand.

    @GorGasm- Thats what I am  thinking to do bro. Pitstop has quoted 530 for taking out both the mufflers and running a straight pipe through and welding some crome tips. I am getting it done this week but I nervous, hope it sounds good

    Hey guys

    I am new on this forum, and a new owner of the beast aka e60 M5. Just wanting to seek some advice regarding its exhaust. The stock exhaust sounds great but i want to make it sound a bit more louder and exotic. What can I do? 

    Thanks in advance

    Hi guys

    I am new on this forum. I have a 525i 06 and I love it to bits. A couple of weeks ago i noticed coolant on my driveway, I was suppose to take it to a mechanic but it got delayed. The other day I was driving it and all of sudden the car lost power and it wont start. It started like after a few minutes but the engine light came on. Any ideas what could be wrong with it? Also any recommendations for where to take it?

    cheers
