Nice! You challenged much smaller cars but after all why not use all the advantages of E60 aluminium chassis! I love the 1st picture with the blurred background, sharp car and smoking tires.

Darn, W550, wish I knew you were coming up and I could have asked you to bring along the rear spoiler. I should have been in closer contact with you.
Like you, I had a nice hiway run last week, to Newport, Oregon and back. About 2500kms total and the car ran flawlessly. Checked one tank from Newport to Bellingham and got 33+ MPG (converted to Cdn gals) at speeds mostly of 120+ KPH.
Good stuff.

Hope all is well !!
