Many of you have seen me on this board for a long time. A few comments here and there; reading or better yet drooling at all the amazing stories and pictures everyone is sharing. Its been a long wait for me and something that I have wanted for quite some time. On Saturday I will be picking up my first ever M5. As a young buck I placed above my desk a poster picture of the e39 M5 and now have an e60 M5 as my screen saver. No other car in the world fits my personality like an M5 - understated but a beast inside.
I know I should be thanking all my amazing clients and employees for presenting this gift but I do feel it is quite deserved
. Getting something you want after such a long wait is a very scary/thrilling experience. You are worried how it will live up to all the expectations that have been set in your head. I can't sleep one night without thinking about Saturday when I pick up an M5 that is slightly used (6700km) for such a deal that waiting for the 09s would be such a dumb move! The other reason I can't sleep is that I have always been a 6 speed man and I have opted to try the SMG. As a technology freak I am looking forward to figuring it all out and learning a new tranny. I don't want to test drive it because I am fairly certain I will not get enough exposure to get good at it and give it a chance. Wish me luck!
I really do want to thank everyone so much for all the great posts and information to make me informed enough that I feel like I could go in and sell an M5 better then any dealer. Nonetheless THANK YOU so much. This board is amazing and the people on here are top notch. Saturday is the big day, the wait is finally over! Two more sleepless nights
.
Promise to post pics when I get the car!
