The R6 engine is awesome.? The torque is really strong in any gear - I was accelerating very strongly in 5th gear on the highway at low RPMs and around town at lower speeds.? I haven't taken the engine above 4K RPM, but even so it's great.
I have taken a few pictures - I put them here:? http://mail.definitive.org/~ronl

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
Congrats on the new family addition, UUronl! 
Appreciate your 1st impressions of the *new* 3.0L engine. I'm still on the fence with which engine to order.
Nice to hear you're happy with the power. Oh, and nice pics!
Cheers!

This morning was the first time I'd driven the car since I picked it up last Monday. The wait was killing me - I couldn't make an appointment to get the 3M Paint Protection Film installed until today. Man, that thing is a beast on the highway and I wasn't even hitting 4K RPM. Loving every minute of it!
