An awful lot of giggling going on. You guys were really abusing that car, huh?! 
Thanks for the vids. Wish my dealer would let me do that too.

If you buy the M5 are you going to make it bullet proof (windows and side panels) if so that will effect the performance due to adding all the weight... Too dangerous in Rio to drive nice cars... I have many friends in Sao Paulo and all their cars are "brindado" due to all the car jacking unfortunetly... For example one of my friend has an SL55 but top does not come down due to the modifications to protect....

You are right. Here in Brazil the violence is the main problem and almost out of control. Sometimes I am starting to think about moving abroad. I didn't want this for the future of my kids. Just started think about the possibilities to move to Australia.
For this reason I can't use the car daily. Just once a week.
