I finally had the privilege to drive the almighty M5 today. And let me sum everything up by this: . Wow...I was expecting something magnificent, but it still managed to blow me away. It's one thing to ride in the M5 with someone pinning it, and a whole other thing doing it yourself. The way it picks up, absolutely astonishing. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time and I was literally shaking with excitement afterwards. I can't wait to get one of my own.

Haha really? I find it rather slow to pick up from a stand still... Civics and Corolla's always seem to be faster off the line than I am.

AHAHAHAH! No wayyyy! Maybe you're just to accustomed to driving the M5. How about trading it for my 530xi for a couple months?

I remember the first time I did P500S and S6. I was screaming like a little school girl. The experience is unlike anything else you've ever experienced...ESPECIALLY in a 4 door sedan!

The X5 4.8 loaner I had got off the line better than the M5 lol, but I'd rather be slow off the line and have my NA V10 than the new V8 tt that is coming...
