Please follow this link and participate in the poll. The poll is one of the "topics" moved inappropriately recently: Poll: How much do you like reading about 5er performance in our forums? Also, please post your thoughts and opinions on the other poll you'll find nearby and join in on all the related discussion (going on in the Site Comments and Suggestions forum). I would like a large voter turnout. In doing my polls, my intention is to gather evidence about what our members want--not to get my way (although I'd like that better). Thanks.
And, given that. Let's have some fun with 5er performance. I don't really know what I mean by that. But, let's take a break from being serious--still working in some performance discussion.
I know what's really annoying in doing g-meter testing. It's getting off to what I am convinced is a great pass just to find out I forgot to start the timer.
Have you done any 5er performance blunders?

Well I voted. I of course like the performance of our cars even 525s and 530s. Its good to know how E60s stand against other cars on the road. I mean just look at brochurs and anyhting else car related... even if you're out there to buy a Toyota Corolla... one ALWAYS ask how much HP it has... how good is its passing power, how well does it climb the hill. Performance + car talk is inevitable... and this being a BMW forum BMW being geared towards performance how can I not be interested.

Hahaha... I totally missed this thread.
Znod, I bet my 545 SMG is faster than your 545 Step from a rolling launch.
I'll see you soon!
