My Ride: A Car
My 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear feels fast as hell and strong!! 4th gear of course doesnt feel that quick but I expect that. After 4th gear redline, It doesnt even feel fast. It feels slow! By that time, I am not sure how fast I am going but i've reached speeds of 150. All done in a enclosed course of course 
When I first bought the car, it feels FASSSST!! Now it feels ehh...it's alright. Is it my imagination? Do you guys feel the same?

John, if you want your M5 to pull like a freight train as speeds build up... ( and I'm serious cause it pulls like crazy with every gear after 3rd its just fuckin scary ) .. get long tube headers and a tune to go with it.
My car pulls on M5's in 4th gear upwards, it feels like 2nd and 3rd gear. I hit 280km/h top of 5th gear. This means you can hit the OEM speed limiter before shifting into 6th! How about that?

no match for the beauty.

John I can understand you missing the off the line torque of the 545 (not the E60 M5's strong suit) but geez, the M5 has truckloads of top end power.
