First, I did a launch control before with my fiancee inside. She said it feels like a roller coaster. LOL. She loves it! Car doesnt really peel out that much at setting 5 but I dont really floor it off the line.
Second, I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT drive with SMG setting 3. I can only drive it in 5 or 6. 6 definitely shifts like myself while I'm stepping on it. 5 is when I am shifting normally.
Third, there was a white Audi A4/S4/RS4, I have NO IDEA what it was. Probably an A4 2.0T. Behind it was a 750. Both cars stood no chance. Geez the M5 on a roll feels like a BIKE! It just takes off! DOwnshifted and BAM, I was up to the Audi's ass. I had to lift off and when I had room, shifted at 8K, and he was SEVERAL car lengths away already. Probably a debadges A4 2.0T. I really gotta hardwire my radar detector and pick up a few more PBA cards before I get in more trouble. I still got NO PLATEs!!! Temp plates.

Yeah, bought fuel today. Got 55 liters with 272 km's on it. Payed 88.17 euro
Meaning $ 112,51 for 169 miles = $ 0.66 a mile for fuel only. And I have driven slow
I think if I drive it hard I can reach 1:1 
But hey, within 10 yrs we all drive on a batteries, so let's enjoy while we still can.

Congrats and enjoy John. Damn I wish I had a M5. I am driving a red Dodge Challenger RT with the 376 bhp Hemi V8. Great power but handles like a pig of course -- a true modern musclecar. I can't get enough of the V8 rumble and roar. But there is nothing like the scream of the M5's V10.
