The other evening on my way back from work I saw an M5 at the Samudra Mahal signal. Couldnt make out if it was blue or black but it had massive silver multi spoke wheels. Looked really sweet. The car proceeded towards town. I havent seen that one before.

That space grey M5 belonged to S.B, until very recently. It has now been sold, and the registration has now changed to MH (from MP). Asking price was infact 65, but I am not sure how much it eventually went for.

Most likely to be black, in which case it belongs to a Mr. R.A.

Never seen a dark blue one. I have seen a dark greyish looking one though.

Yes the same one. The asking from day one by the owner was 60. The car was exchanged through Infinity Motors for the 7 series. He was going to buy the white GTR but then changed his mind i guess. The car went for 60 Lakhs and it was prestine. It was brought to the supercar run to show itself to prospective buyers. I had offered 55 as that was my budget and he told me to wait for the next guy to sell it .

It must be the black one that i have seen only once on Peddar road. The owner hardly uses it besides its requirement. There is a Maroon M5 with chrome wheels. The car looks like a killer and i saw it only once on Marine drive heading toward Bandra. By the time i took a u turn i got a glimpe of him again at Babulnath and then he dissapeared.

I got the opportunity of seeing the black M5 properly and interacting with it's owner a few months back. Really nice car, fox red interiors (hence making a good combination). The owner expressed his want to not attract too much attention, which is why the M5 suited him.

He also mentioned ordering an Aston Martin DBS, which was to be delivered in october, but I haven't heard about or seen that yet.

He resides at Breach Candy.

An awsome combination i would say. Thats the combo i wanted if i would taken the M3. Yeah true the M5 is like camoflaged rocket and attracts the least off attention.
On the other hand the DBS says take a good look at me. Oh boy the car is one cool lady. Have not seen it here yet, and am hopeing that it has been bought. Sometimes the mind gets changed or another car replaces the thought, keeping my fingers crossed that this is not the case and the owner has bought it. Will keep my eyes open when i head out at nights.

@mods: It okay for the number plates being displayed.Came once in the newpaper also.
Will try to get better pictures friends.

Saw a M5 in the same blue as the one spotted before(interlagos blue) parked at Trident on the left entrance or you may say exit. It looked damn nice and its number plate was 666.

I wonder if it's a coincidence, or we're talking about the same car; but S.B's M5 also had the 666 number plate. That car is space grey though (which sometimes could look like a very light sky blue). Could you have seen that?

That car however (as discussed earlier in this thread) has now been sold, and it's registration has changed.

It was interlagos blue. Dark blue not like space grey at all. The same day I saw the space grey m3 in the evening

You know, when I read your previous post, I frankly found it a little out of line. But now that I have discovered who this chap is, I couldn't agree with you more !

He used a white superb(previous gen) before this and drove like a maniac to say the least.I Prefer not to indulge in street races often but this chap compelled me to and I have put him in his place a couple of times. Obviously not in the M5 ,but this kid really needs to chill down! It's scary that he now owns that beast, I genuinely worry for his life.

Is this a new car or has it changed hands as it is the facelifted version? Does he also have a X5 and Q7? I have see this double SS type sign on those cars similar to what his superb had.

I frankly dont know this person atall. A common friend knows him, and adviced never to race him or if he cuts you then let it be cause thats how he drives everyday. The M5 is a second hand car that he bought from the DRI. I dont know what other cars he owns and the sign you talk of is the Four seasons sign as he gets work done there. The sign is not SS but 4S but can be mistaken for SS.
