Hey!? I'm just a few hrs away from The BMW plant in Spartanburg SC...?

(Where Performance pickups are made)? I'd be more than happy to give a detailed writeup for the forum...? (you listening out there BMW guys???)?

The Performance Center was looking forward to getting the new M5 in 2005 (when I visited it in Fall of 2004 for the 6 Driving Experience) - do they have one yet?

My Ride: X3 | 3.0 | 6-speed manual

A car that is going to be sold to a customer is not going to be able to be test driven. Who wants to pay that much for a high-performance car, only to take delivery of it with miles on it? And the buyer knows that anyone who drove the car likely thrashed it a bit 'just to see what it can do.'

But other than that...sure I'll drive one!

I'll bet the salesperson has already thrashed it a bit. You know when he takes it out to fill it up.
