Oi mate... this is the place to be...

It is my conviction that the `x` in your car's model denotes a wise choice for safe North American - winter - navigation (snow, etc). I've got a 535d and I've been sliding all over the place (rear-wheel drive) - until of course on put on a nice set of friction tires.

Welcome and enjoy your fine toy...

The car in my aviator is what best describes me. My car will be under going some changes
in the near future.
It will look similar to the car on my aviator.

the car in his avatar is a black M5 E61

not that you did not know this already... I found it in higher resolution some time ago and I love it. It has served a wallpaper capacity on the screen of one of my laptops. Here for everyone to enjoy:

ok, I understand -- and thanks for sharing the larger image of that beast

So is that picture just inspiration for the look of the car or also for the driving style?!

The picture serves not so much for the look but more for the event. Race season is still a few months away and that picture keeps me motivated throughout the long off season.
Not that I?m competing with my E61 (not that there?s anything wrong with that) but I want to prep the car slightly for the track and have some fun with it.
