My Ride: 535d Sport in Carbon Black / high gloss shadow line and beige leather / dark poplar with professional nav, bluetooth phone prep, CD changer, bi-xenon adaptive headlamps, servotronic steering, folding mirrors, heated comfort seats, TV, extended voice control and Logic 7 hifi.
11th June is a "Run What Ya Brung" day at Santa Pod.
I'll be going on this date - anyone else interested in getting 1/4 mile figures for their E60 and / or comparing the performance of different engine / gearbox configurations - come along!
Cheers, Clive

Santa Pod is just off the M1 in Northants - NN29 7XA.
I've known John for a few years... recently gave him my slot at a track day when my TT got banned for being too loud so we took the X5 round - with your freshly modded paddles

Clive, I too know Thorney, through the VX220 club, we will try and make the 11th, see if John will bring the X5.
Clive, was that you in the X5 at the Castle Combe trackday, I've seen the video on www.vx220.org.uk, X5 pushing Caterhams out the way, very funny.

Gav - no, not that track day - it was at Coombe, but TT Owners Club day. But yes, lets let John know we're going. Not enough opportunities to spin out for him I'd have thought....

Thanks for letting me know where it is. In any case, I won't be able to join you guys because I'll be overseas again 
. But I'll certainly try to attend another one whenever you guys arrange it.
All the Best

My Ride: E60 530d Sport - Carbon Black, Black Dakota Leather, Media Pack (satnav, bluetooth, CD changer), heated font seats, through load
I will be coming. With some friends with Porsche 928s. Should be fun, especially if a remapped 535d would be kind enough to humble them
