Description

Another 100% effort, perfect BMW M5. The only car comparable to this one is Driven_Out's Dinan M5 Tuned. This one has a new dash, full textures, precision headlights, and awesome performance. You will keep this for a long long time. 3d Quad Exhaust pipes, and precision detailed Rims and tires. ( Note: do not look at this car in the "Player Car" preview screen. It has over 11,000 Polygons and will kick you out of the game - RaM ran out of Ran error message.) Can't get the serial number, no programs work on WindowsXP ( nfswiz or vivwiz )

sorry!

I was fine if it had less polys 'cause I like to admire good cars on the menu (oh! and I know about the "menu skins" avaliable, I just don't really like any of them). This is the main reason I'm not downloading your car. (but... who cares, right?)

BMWsportAddon author25 years ago

it's not my car, so i'm not offended.

looks great!!!

There's a simpler solution for using cars that otherwise would crash in the showroom, and that goes as follows:

Open car1.mnu in "your nfshs folder"/Data/Menus (with wordpad)
Search for reflection and set it to 0.

That's all. :) It's having to draw all those polys twice in the mirroring showroom floor that makes the game crash. But this way, you remove those reflections (I don't miss 'em anyway) . Thanks to RunR for this tip.
And kudos to Manutius for making the M5 cool again in NFS4.

ALL OF YOU - D/L THIS BMW NOW

It's the BEST i have ever seen!!!!

RemkoAdmin25 years ago

BTW, the serial number is 6.
There is a way for using NFSWIzard under Windows Xp, it's explained in detail in this thread:

The Serial Number Editor (SNE) and NFSManager haven't given me any problems yet, under XP.

To fix the problem of your game crashing go here:Link and download one of the menu fixes.

Remko - still very very unstable.

RemkoAdmin25 years ago

Sorry, Jeff, what are you referring to?
NFSWizard & Xp, or the 'RaM ran out of Ram' Error?

BMWsportAddon author25 years ago

no, nfswizard - i'm still getting halt errors. tried running it compatible with win98, 98 and service pack 4, but I can't get it. i'm running Windows 2000 Advanced Server on my other partition, and i dont' want to go back to win98

RemkoAdmin25 years ago

Did you try the .reg and .bat files like they are described by Acidfunk in the thread I mentioned above?
After I use the Batch file to start NFswizard, I too got a halt message, but after clicking OK I was able to continue anyway.
Maybe it's easier to dicuss this in detail in the Forum itself, do you have an account? We have a little more room there. ;-)

BMWsportAddon author25 years ago

yep, did everything correctly...but it's ok, i might get another computer soon, and i'll run win98 on that one.

BMWsportAddon author25 years ago

thanks for the help ;]

George25 years ago

Thanks Remko About the Reflections tip. It Solved the problem. I also had a merc Sl (the new one) with the same problem . Now it's working fine.

cpn_spaghetti25 years ago

Hm...I can't use this car in Hot Pursuit mode. Any ideas?

BMWsportAddon author25 years ago

cpn - make sure you have minimal cars installed with this one. i raced this car, in HP mode, against EA's M5, and it worked fine, when i saw the replay, I was EAs M5 against EA's M5...i'd keep very little cars in while this is in, or edit the S/N

Rapster25 years ago

This is one of the best BMW's out there!! I love all the polys. It looks great! All the great car authors should get all their cars together and make a mod. Like replacing all the default cars with better ones made by them! That would be the best. And there could be all new traffic too! Even though I don't make cars I might get permission to use ppls cars for a mod?? hmmmmmm

RemkoAdmin25 years ago

OK Jeff. ;-)

Driven_out25 years ago

My car, Compareable? NAHHH!

BMWsportAddon author25 years ago

ya, i like your dinan M5 just as much as i like this one. they're the 2 best M5's for the game. that's my opinion, and it probably won't change, maybe add am M5 or two to it ;]

RemkoAdmin25 years ago

Hey, the pictures are there, good.

Driven_out25 years ago

heheh... bmwsport, can ya add my two bimmers for me?

BMWsportAddon author25 years ago

yup, consider it done

Googlo125 years ago

thanks remko for the tip
i'm not really a bmw fan
butt the m3 and the m5 or my favorite
can it work with with a 16000polys car ?

2FaST4EA24 years ago

Hi, i love the car but all of a suddon it stoped wroking in Hot pursuit "classic and timetrap modes" only! and i havent added anything to the game and now it doesnt work, works only in GETAWAY.
Does anyone have the same thing with this car???

RemkoAdmin23 years ago

Unfortunately that happens with most high-poly cars... Pursuit mode in NFS4 is just sensitive in that area.

Zpectre21 years ago

I know this is a really late comment, however I must praise MANUTIUS for the excellent work back in the day. This car is among my favourites ever for NFS4, and, even although it is a 4-years old model, its quality is compareable to some of the best NFS4 cars, which are much more recent than this. Also, the E39 is a car which has a special place in my heart, due to the perfect combination of elegance, power and simpleness. I can say that this particular addon made me admire the M5 even more.
