Buddy... i think you are terribly misguided here...You just finished mentioning how you cannot stop racing this thing, and that you raced a AMG63 the other day, but then turn around and say you dont do this everyday. I don't believe you.

The fact that you knowingly pulled into a subdivision and did this, is just downright stupid. You may THINK that your an experienced driver with having driven that CR-V before this car, but lets be honest. You have had your M5 for 2 weeks and your talking about racing/speeding in subdivisions and how you cant stop!! Scary thought.

Your dad being a rally driver or not.. i doubt he would approve of such acts.Take it to the track before you hurt yourself, or more importantly some innocent bystandard that walks on the street to gab his/her toy and gets hit my a kid driving a car he's not responsible in. This isnt a CR-V buddy, its a 510hp supercar.


FYI: Racing and things like this, from my experience, are not much liked on these forums. :thumbsdown:

Be safe

yea thats the difference... if you were on a track or closed field i would be cheering you on. keep the stupidity off the streets, on the track you can act as foolish as you want. even the highway is better then neighborhood streets.

we are just warning you for your own good, since we've seen what happens. i'm 24 and i can't tell you how many friends i've lost to bike/auto accidents that involved racing. don't be another statistic, we want you to enjoy the car as much as possible safely. just be careful, a car can ruin the rest of your life if you take it for granted

+1. Here's the thing, nobody is saying that you CAN'T go fast in your M5. Do it somewhere safe, like on the track. Sure you can say that you looked and made sure there was nobody around, but understand this: that's not a controlled environment. Who's to say that a kid couldn't have ran out in the middle of street, or say just appeared out of nowhere?

Or if we want to nitpick, what if a dog (which obviously is smaller and runs faster than a child) dashes across the street? Yah, good luck explaining that to a child to why you decided to send a dog to heaven by hitting it at 140 with over two tons of metal.

What I meant in "cant stop racing this thing" I meant, if somebody wants to pull a race like that AMG I would do it, but I am not one of those drivers that as soon as I sit in this car, I obay the laws and race on the streets every second. I love racing this thing, when I need to thats it. Most of the time, I drive it like any other car on the road. + as I said before, I am a careful driver, I dont pull that shit like I did everyday :S onyl when I see I have an opportunity but not even. In those 2 weeks that I had my M5 I think I raced it only 3 or 4 times. " I cant stop racing this car" again, only if somebody will race against me, thats when I take a risk. Skele : I dont need a race track, I dont need speed and agression so badly like other drivers do.

I am sure it'll be more than that, especially if he hits a kid. Or a lawyer. If they don't die.

Guys, I agree with you and I dont even want to argue about it. I did a little stupid thing ( lets call it a BIG stupid thing) and thats it. I am sure all of you had the same thing before and took that chance.

Just wanted you to know, ya know? It's not personal attack against you, it's just pointing out there it's not something you should be doing. A brief moment of adrenaline rush is not worth all the possible consequence. Do it somewhere safe. It'll still be fun, and you won't have to worry about the what-ifs.

+1. If a child darts out into the road, it might be very tough to stop in time to avoid a tragedy that would alter the entire course of your life or worse. Of all the places to speed, a slow speed zone in a residential area is the worst of all. Many of us here like to push our rides. But never in a populated, slow speed zone.

Hopefully the universal condemnation here of the OP's actions will have the positive effect of discouraging a repeat performance.
