My Ride: 2008 535xi -- took delivery January 24th, 2008 -- Space Gray w/black dakota leather interior and Bamboo Anthracite wood trim, Sport Package / Premium Package / Cold Weather Package / Logic7 / Bluetooth / IPOD / NAV / 18" Star Spoke 124s...BUT I could not resist the M Aero Kit, tinting the windows and adding front/rear blacked-out Roundels
To Chris' comment...IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with you...but influenced by your speeds - believe it or not - clocked at 80 going up to Monticello on 694 passing a Honda on the right and could not escape the ...$250 ticket!!!!!! If she only knew that hours ago I passed 125 with 500+lbs load, plus the rubber mats....
I will frame this ticket!! It was (will be) worth every penny and a great ending to a rainy day with beautiful scenery....
I will be thinking of you all on my ride home tomorrow...assuming the xi can handle the deep waters waiting for me back in Chicago!!!

Despite the rain, we had a great time today. It was great meeting all you guys and finally putting a face to a screenname.
It was IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with you guys though. LOL

You take some GREAT pictures Sean. After seeing these I might as well throw my point-and-shoot Canon Elph in the trash.

Here's a few I took...

The crappy weather didn't deter spirited driving, the pace was definately brisk! I did 302 miles today, most of them were hard miles trying to keep up with John.
Cris, the secret is stand on the gas mid corner. John was getting the jump on me all day!
Pleasure to meet all of you, thanks to John and Sean for leading!

Great pics Jeff! Not only do I need to lay on the gas mid-corner, but I think I lacked a bit of confidence in the 'ol 5er while taking it around some of those sharp corners.
