You are quite the comedian. The reason they took away the foglights is because of Iceman?

But I would never take them away from any car, maybe for the US market...

Just my 0.02.? Urbo, by calling it silly, stupid and not neccesary, you are indirectly questioning the judgement of those who have it and like.? Hence the defensive response from some.? Now this thread has spiraled from a discussion about the merits or lack thereof of AS to personal attacks.
And I must say your quick response about the silly and unneccesary PDC technology is the reserve argument that others are making about AS.? You basically admit that it's silly, but it is useful for your wife when she is parking your car.? Many feel the same way about the AS.? Is it the purist driving experience that one can have.? Maybe not, but the technology is useful to and enjoyed by many drivers.? As I said earlier, I didn't care for it during my test drive and that is the only reason that I ordered my car without the Sports Package.
How about we let those who have their AS enjoy it and those of us who decided not to get it enjoy our cars sans the AS.?
Drive On!
Drive On!

Now it may be just me? but it sure looks like you cast the first stone. But I am the one who?s trying to stir the pot? Is like you said? ?Time stamp don?t lie iceman Also it helps to read more carefully before getting into a qouting contest..? Guess it doesn?t apply to you?? Or are you the type that can dish it out but can?t take it on the chim?? It?s a 2 ways street pal.
Not that I'm looking to start a flame war on the board but Urbo started this fiasco. I responded to the original post with my OPINION. He goes off with some smart ass remark and now he can't take the heat. Come on now.
Stop questioning peoples motive Urbo. Stop the consipiracy theory why the M5 does or doesn't not have the AS. I'm sure it's not because you. And don't call out people. You might get a response that you may not like. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. In other words, don't start what you can't finish!
Your posts were nothing more than waste of time. How about changing the pace and adding something on the board, more constructive for ALL OF US TO ENJOY.

So what you're saying is, that everybody who buys a Porsche, an Ferrari, a Bugatti, etc... is stupid, aren't you?
That's what I read in between your lines!
That's what I read in between your lines!
If I want a track car, I will not buy ANY stock car, I will allways mod it for track! But ppl want fast and superb handling cars for their daily use. If they want 507 HP, why not? Do they need to take it on track because some urbo thinks the car is meant for track use? NO!
If you think the M5 is meant for track use only you have not understand the concept of the M-cars!

And NO I don't think the M5 is only a track car. It's a friggin' 4 door! I know what the car is about..
Oh, BTW...
You think AS is silly... Well, it is so silly, that all other car manufacturers are now starting to copy it. It is also the "innovation of the year". Even Porsche is building something very similar to AS soon.

"I've said nothing as inflammaroty as beewang, and teriyaki88 hasn't even understood my post it seems and HE's the one asking for more. I don't even know why I bothered to explain myself at such length. But *I*'m doing something wrong?."
What I meant was that I offered an explanation, and you went back to try to stir things up. But I have NO clue what you are EVEN saying. I can't make sense of any of it. Sorry!

After all, not every Porsche owner will race it. They will need that AS to get the car from the detailer to their garage!

It is the way you post, man!
Everybody has the right to have his opinion. Everybody has the right to say what he thinks. It's a free world (well, most of it). But you are posting in a way that tells everybody here that he is stupid if he doesn't thinks like you.
Oh, yes. BMW is holy.

Yes you do. With the way you post you are telling everybody here who is not thinking 100% like you that he is stupid.

I find it very hard to believe that people take such offense to my style of writing. If so, how should I feel in return when I see worse coming my way? I just smile! I'm not sure why everyone is so uptight today! Man!
