I've been in the E60 M5 RingTaxi at the Nurburgring. That car was obviously driven by pros who know the track and car like the back of their hand. My first impression was how differently the M5 handled compared to my E60 M-Sport, it took corners and put power on the road much much better. He showed how the car handled in different "M" and traction settings -- when he turned off the traction control, all hell broke loose!!... obviously exagerated deliberately by him to show us what it was like to be going side ways wheels spinning one second and then whipping the car around to be going sideways wheels spinning on the other side. What an awesome day... its brought back a HUUUUUUUUGE SMILE on my face just writing about it 
I am 100% sure you will also notice a massive difference between your 530i track experience and that you will have in the M5. Enjoy!

I'll be heading to the Ring in spring next year. If you own a German car its right it should go back home for a visit!
I'll be sure to take a ride in the Ring Taxi too.

Without diverting the thread too much I am with Swiftcover.com
I pay only ?480.00, Ive full NCB, Car Cover, Personal Injury, Legal Protection, but that as Jay will tell you this is because I am an old codger of 50 years young, I dont do nowt wrong, dont speed, drive and obey all the Highway Code etc, etc.
Try them guys they are certainly the cheapest for me.
As for the track days Ive been driven around in an M5 on a BMW Away Day, what an experience........ you will love it Yeah Man.
