also thought of making the e60 to cts-v switch, but there's something holding me back.. even the 2011 model @ the car show didn't make me feel the same way the e60 (still) does

love the potential though

Drive one.

I never in a billion years thought I would own one... Until I drove it. The power is unbelievable.

One weekend, when it's not -30C out, I'll do just that! Hopefully the showroom salesmen aren't as chatty as their car-show counterparts

the torque coupled with the PS2s render first and most of second gear useless in temps below 40. Awesome.
