Even though the car was allready shown at different auto shows it's still not out, so it's still top secret...

they are not happy because they are the test drivers "only", not the owners .

But they are also testing other "smaller" cars.
A friend of mine is a test driver, and I know from him, that this isn't allways fun. Most of the time it's boring...

So I shouldn't take the picture of the car not to upset the test driver? I don't know, it is still a public place, if it is still a secret why they go out on public streets?

When the M5 will be available for buying? I thought they already started selling it in Germany... So this was still an unreleased car?!?
