Trying to break in my new Brake Pads ( 0-60, stop, 0-60, stop) when my tires had no thread left and road was wet,
Gf dropped entire Soda on the seat, dog hit hard the side window and car slid where we almost hit the light pole.
My Gf think its the stupidest thing I ever done (which she blames this forum )

Well it wasn't an E60 but my lexus that i had before the M5. I drove it into my drive way and instead of putting it into park i put it into reverse and jumped out to open up my garage door by hand and the car was rolling accross the street to my neighours drive way garage. I was running after it lol, jumped in while it was rolling (almost broke my leg) and hit the brakes. My heart was fukin pounding! not jokin

Dumbest thing I have ever done... Let my mom drive it for the day while i drove her X5. Came back to my side skirt hanging off, front bumper cracked, and rear wheel destroyed. After denying anything happened she finally fessed up, took a corner to sharp and tight and ran the curb.

Drove it in a huge puddle. Don't ask me why I did it. 
Water went past the grill. 
Car stalled. Thought I had to get out and push. Cranked it and it started. Drove out of there and the car was idling weird. As for the other 2 cars next to me. Well they're weren't so lucky. Revved it a couple times to see if all the water got out. Drove it to my cousin's house going 20mph. Shut it off and start it back up. Everything was fine.
Surprised it didn't hydrolock. I think the thing that saved the car is the "Dinan-like mod". My guess is since I had two intake tubes, the car couldn't get full suction.

Hauling a trailer with the e60.
Un-hitched the trailer on a slight sloping hill. Forgot to chalk the trailer tires. Trailer [arm] rolled into the bumper; denting and scratching it up. I was the one that pulled the trailer off the ball hitch.
