Sounds like Redline has worked well for you in the past (man I do love me a great GrpV oil), I would bet your M5 would enjoy it as well
the folks over at m5board seem to like it, and I do know that people (apart from just myself) consider them to be the best driveline fluids available for our brand of vehicles. By that, I mean transmission and differential; I personally use Motul RBF600/660 brake fluid exclusively. Oh, and the same D4 ATF that'd go in your tranny would be ideal for PS fluid.
A DB9??? Drool... I have always loved AMs, even though they aren't the fastest or best handling, they have a certain aura about them... And they can be daily driven, they are so comfy. I personally dream of a Charcoal Metallic DBS, red and charcoal Alcantara and leather interior... Yum!
I can tell you that the new Pilot Super Sports are, hands down, the best tire I have used on the street. Grip better than P Zero Nero or Toyo's best offerings, and even surpass their brother, the PS2, in both wet and dry traction by a good measure. They are also more communicative, are very good about easing you into their limits and give plenty of warning before you surpass those limits, have extremely crisp turn in response, and they look very nice! Best of all, they are the most comfortable UHP tire I have ever used. It is like turning my coilovers 3 clicks softer in how much more compliant they are compared to my usual go to.tires.
I use 245 width front and 285 width rear (custom widened fenders - cut, pulled, metal welded, sanded, painted. Similar to M3 but more aggressive IMO, without being "in your face"). Sounds similar to sizes you would need, and even with all that rear width, I have yet to hydroplane.
You will LOVE them!
Take care,

Yes, I've heard very good things about Redline's lubricants in general. I have a decent stash of their 5w30 that I bought from Canadian Tire when they were closing it out.
Yes, he's got a 2010 DB9 IIRC, it is silver. He drives it pretty much daily in the summer.
Good to hear about those tires! I've been eyeing them as my next major purchase for the car.
