Jesus Christ I can't tell you how many hours I've spent just staring at listings for Alpine/Caramel M5s. Nice buy. Vibration under acceleration sounds like the "giubo"/ driveshaft bushing and or CSB just roll under there and check it for tearing. I replaced both on the M3 and it made a MASSIVE difference in general NVH, it's creamy smooth on a good highway.
Looks like the car has the extended leather package, I don't think they all got as much leather as yours has, you can tell by the stitching around the gauge cluster.
If you decide to try and get rid of the stripe you can get some lacquer thinner and just work it off by hand, but plan to polish it too because it'll probably leave some ghosting in the clear.
TL;DR: I wanna touch it's butt.
