My Ride: 2007 E60 M5
Talking



Yesterday I went to the dealer to ride a red indianapolis M5 with all options.
It was amazing to feel in flesh all the M5 technology and power.
Now my life is BM and AM (before M5 and after M5).

Was that a test drive or did you buy it? I guess you aren't worried about break in period. That is one nasty car.

The rev matching blipping is one of the nice features of the SMG type transmissions. First time I experienced is was a few years ago in a friend's 360 Modena w/ F1 trans & Tubi exhaust--gave me the shivers!!!

It appears the LC is not crippled in Brazil!!!!
