Well if I were in North America I would remove it, but here styles are a little different so I am going to rock it for now. I am going to remove the Vorsteiner front splitters for now and reinstall the Hamann ones for the complete look once my HM2's arrive.

Then when I get bored I can always remove them... Going to start playing with more of the suspension and take it to some track events here.

But with this in mind, it is one of the safest cities to live for both men and women.




Thanks man. I am Director of IT for the Canadian University of Dubai and work is great! I get 2 months of Holidays a year plus a paid return flight to country of choice per year etc. Many perks to living/working here.




You know I sort of find the same thing. I have considered removing it as I do have the Vorsteiner diffuser as well... But at the same time to take off parts from a unique car seems wrong as well. I am also not the largest fan of the exhaust tips but... what do you do? Butcher a Hamann?

That, and the fact that gas is like $0.40/liter over there. Which is perfect for a thirsty car like the M5

That is just one side of the benefit to them. The other thing is that they want to built the infrastructure where you can take that car and drive it. In Toronto, We got the same thing that we use to have in the 1980s, expect three times of more immigrants. What's even more funny, as each year goes by, the budget is getting smaller and smaller. They just anounced police budget to be cut down by 5% upon cityhall's approval.

Police will not be cutting their budget. A buddy of mine works for Toronto Police in their IT department. Anyway, in his dept. there are five IT guys per 2000 units. City of Toronto has 200+ IT guys in their dept that handle 1500 units.

Do the math here when it comes to cutting jobs.

Oh, good ol Ford keeping his word, but realizing that he is only in power to cut City Hall's spending....

Nice score. Just picked up an 01 M5 with approx the same mileage (116km) never seen a winter. A fillup here, now, on the M5 is about $90 CDN

I take it you or your company purchased a house/condo there? Reason being, I was looking at a possible transfer from my company a few years back to Dubai for the booming infrastructure, but you could not rent, only buy and had to have the $ then.

Curious as to whom you work for. PM if you want to keep it hush hush.

[propr'one]

^^the real estate market collapsed in dubai in q3 and q4 of 2008.

[sproule905]

^^

makes sense.. in 2009 I was possibly l looking at a transfer, but then found out you had to have the home value cash to make it happen.

Where are you out West?

Okay, so that probably means TTC will go to 3.25 from 3.00.

Btw the car looks so agressive on the front. Love it.
