well well well, just got back from the ring.......
AMAZING
the drives, the rides and the ATMOSPHERE.....the people. lovely.
sadly the weather sucked, rained all the time so quiet a few wrecked babies. luckily no E60's
BTW: I must say Steve's 535d with all the chassis, susp, wheels, tires, brakes etc etc mods is awesome. What a ride on the ring. WOOOW. People, this is the ultimate and REAL tuning. Forget all the wings, bumpers, stickers and other kind of "tuning crap".
Here are some pics:

Well i'm glad you liked it. Love to get there once i have the time...
Did you recognize some E60 members on the pictures?
I thought the last one was hobi's, but i'm not sure of that
![Nurburgring-19.jpg](https://5series.net/forums/attachments/e60-m5-discussion-3/19626d1482364215t-nurburgring-19.jpg)
And isn't this is SG535d with his lovely car or could it be IMU (think i recognize his license plate)??

EDIT: sorry it can't be sg535d because he has no 166s style rims (as pictured on the last one).
BTW: if anyone from this forum was there too but didn't recognize his/her car in the pictures. I have still other pictures from E60's but didn't always update them on the forum otherwise it should become too large here

The whole 4 days were fantastic, i briefly met up with Steve in his 535d & it was indeed an amazing machine & good to meet a few e60.net regualars. The weather was a bit of a let down but i managed 24laps in total & of those about 6-8 were dry laps.
On the track i never used M-Mode & never put her up to full power, deciding that sticking with P400 & max TCS was the best course of action. She still loved hanging her ar$e out & we got a little too much out of shape the odd time but nothing that a few corners of inane laughing did not clear. As said, the M5 behaved exceptionally well & i'll be returing soon & be hopeful of some better weather so i can try a lap under full power. I did no official times laps but was consistently getting under 10mins BTG in the wet & dry with the drier laps being closer to 9.30 but no official recording & was never pushing on.
I did take some instruction with some bloke called Stefan & that really altered the way i drove the track & the basic driving techniques i was using so a very worthwhile trip.

Forgot to mention that i managed to get a Ring Taxi lap, although sadly not with Sabine but some other very short woman.
I actually think for Taxi laps the short woman is slightly quicker & it certainly looked that way from various viewing points, as Sabine just loves showboating & has the back end out on her M5 into virtually every corner, but the other woman drives the Taxi laps more technical, but i was just glad of the opportunity & it blew me away how she could handle the beast.
Was plenty of carnage this week on the track as the weather turned, was often seeing 2-4 crashes per lap although I don't think their were any major injuries.
On Friday a bright yellow Carrera GT turned up on UK plates & driven by a total c0ck also saw a yellow F40, silver Carrera GT, silver Gallardo a couple of Murcies & many other stunning machines, although by far the domination by M3's was amazing, so many CSL's & most being driven hard by compitent drivers.
