Very very nice but I still can't believe that they don't make the 535d in manual.

Anyways congrats Steve. Nice to make such a bold statement (outhandle the m5 and outbrake it).
Your car is pretty much unique.
PS: I'm interested also in the ACS front and rear add-ons for the m kit and i was wondering if you know where to find them?! I understand that almost every bmw dealership in Germany should have them since they have a contract with ACS or smth like that?!

I did the BMW school at the Nurburgring too several years ago. However, it was in a 320d - can't imagine what a 535d++ is like. Good God.
I'd love to keep going back but it's just too far from the States for routine trips. You're very lucky to be closer. I have to make do with tracks closer to home.
Are any of your lap videos online? I'd really like to see the 8:37.

very nice..
i believe it is possible to make a 5er outbreak, and outhandle an M5... but that would require alot of work, and alot of parts. and by how much is impossible to predict..
SG535d..with your M5 ARBs, did your ride get harder on road..
