I posted a week or so ago saying that I might be joining the M5 club and thought I would let everyone know that I bit the bullet and got the 2007 silverstone/black/aluminum trim/SMG/headsup. It had a little over 17K miles on the clock when I got it and is pretty much mint. After going to the M School in SC, I have lusted over this car and I can't believe it's actually in my garage. I also forgot how much I love the SMG. Had it in my M3 and loved every minute.

I'll try to get picks up soon. Two things first - installing the car seats and taking the kids for a ride. Then hardwiring the V1.

Talk to you guys later!

You will have a blast! Everything from arrival to departure is first class. The instructors are fantastic. Be sure to take them up on as many ride alongs as possible - you'll learn a lot. Not to mention it is fun to watch a pro drive! If you have any questions about what youu'll be doing let me know. Keep in mind you will be exhausted by the end of the second day!
