That could be it. In town visiting my folks and to shoot pheasant. Mostly in central London but no M5s yet! Lots of E60s though... Have a few more days here, maybe I'll spot some before returning home on Sunday. Have experienced lot of typical British weather, but finally nicer today. Hope it holds...

ITS NOW Jan 2008 and the amount of M5s a day has certainl gone up from the once a week to 2 a day, always altleast 2, and so many E60S, the new ones withe Face lift non sport models, and ocassionly see a 535d M sport, the petrol ones are non-existent,

RARELY see an petrol E60,

Others in london notice that, more so the M11 area near Loughton

My Ride: Living in Germany as an expat, this is the perfect opportunity to own the car of my dreams. I bought a new BMW E560 Individual in April 2007 and I have been in love with my M5 ever since! Where else can you experience the acceleration, speed and fabulous performance of this wonderful German engineering, but on the German Autobahns (almost with immunity for high speed as long as you slow down when there are limits). Fastest so far has been 293kmph (183 mph) but my M5 has much more left...I will get it to the limit of 330kmph (205mph) or more yet! Problem is it makes me want to drive everywhere possible at any oppotunity and I am rackng up the kilometers!

Try living in germany where 60% of the cars on the road are German...and of that it feels like 50% of them are BMW's. Don't see too many M5's, but there are plenty of Porsches etc. that want to race on the Autobahns. I just love driving my M560!
