130 to Vegas? I got you by 10mph. 
If it was the weekend of Nov 5th, my buddy and I went for his bachelor party that same weekend. I was going so fast that I woke him up from his nap. He got pushed back into the seat. 
Where did you stay? If you were at Caesars' I think I might have seen you when I was going into the parking garage. I pointed out to my friend your e60 with the M-tech body kit? and told him that was what I want. I will be getting it real soon. And your car looks great!

I'm pretty sure it was you then. Sure, I'm game for a cruise in the future. SMG is great. Everyone was right when they said there would be a long learning curve. Have you attempted launch control yet? I did a semi-launch from a roll. That was awesome

His signature says he does. I have that too. I guess I should remove that cover piece that blocks the sensor.... hahaha Totally forgot about it.
Actually, your kit should have come with a pice to trim the ACC sensor. The kooks at the body shop put the solid one over my sensor the first time and threw away the one that was supposed to be used. Luckily my buds at Brecht BMW hooked me up with a replacement piece.
Best,
