OMG - I just drove the new M5

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

Awsome, awsome, Awsome.... I can't stop smiling. The instant 500 hp of power, tons of setting on the SMG, even auto mode works very well. But turn off the DSC, put the auto side seat bolsters on medium, take a turn in second, and hang on.......holy cow, controlled fury!

[romus]

have your girl call the dealership to arrange an appointment for you, show up in a suit and ull see if they'll let u or not

Ed, the only problem I see when you're out test driving the ///M cars, is that you have the potential of being your own best customer! =)

Sounds like fun! Now where's that 95 large I had laying around?

[Jeff N.]

dang. juicy!

[rnrn]

yesterday and it sure looks purdy. Had to call Brandon J and Scott H to let em know that this one doesn't seem nearly as bangled as its current mates do. Was in a dark grey color and just looked so serious on I 94. too much traffic (shich was good for me) otherwise I would never have popped my cherry.

You lucky bloke !
Now all you need is to drive a chipped 535d twin turbo diesel and compare them - you might be surprised ! ;)
And from a 3 litre 6 no less !

[Paul in NZ]

even the 530 d is quite impressive

What about the launch control? Pushes you right back back into your seat !! Didn't like the open road driving sensations too much though, the limits of rear wheel adhesion are so large, it's almost boring if you don't have enough space to play with the car.

On the track though, a skilled drifting instructor showed me what it really could do and how f***-ing awsome the V10 sounds over 7000 rpm with open windows........it's been two weeks and I'm still smiling. Yes, it's better than sex after marriage.

There are only so many times that you can use launch control. The computer keeps track of it somewhere and can void the warranty after too may uses. Also, you can only use it once and then let the tranny and engine cool down for at least an hour I believe. Still a cool feature though.
