Re: Supercars & Imports : Chennai

Spotted 3 fine cars today - the grey C63 that was seen on the track during the first Supercar Show, a white R8 with silver blades and the highlight seen a few minutes ago - sand coloured M5 on TTK Road.

Does it make 3 M5s in Chennai then?

Sand colored? Brown? Beige? Was it the Ivory one pictured below?

If so this is the Master Blaster's ex-M5. Originally Maroon but now ruined with this new paintjob. My heart sunk when I saw it at Parx this year.

There's a new gen M5 in Chennai. (TN-10-AL-****)
The AL series started 3 months ago. So, its most likely a month old car. Make it 4 M5s

The color od supposed to be off white and looks horrible in person or in pictures, the maroon was unique as i have not seen another M5 or another 5 series in the same color. The owner after Master Blaster had got it repainted outside and not at the dealership and had electrical issues, where the car would conk off in the middle of the road. Its also been modified..

Yeah bro, I couldn't believe it when I saw the car and had to confirm with friends if I got the number right. The Maroon was such a unique and gorgeous shade. To top everything, what on earth was he thinking when he got those puny rims for the car?

Do you have a picture of the car taken before it was wrapped?

I think Chennai has a regular 5 of the same generation in the same shade. It was one of the first cars to be imported (before the dealerships were opened). These cars had lower ground clearance and a different set of fenders than the Indian cars.

It's not wrapped, it's painted. That's what beats me to it

There ya go, yes there is an E60 5 (with M-kit) in Chennai and E60 5 Touring in Bangalore in the same shade, but this was the only M5.
