well, this was actually a bit of a finishing touch, simply applying another coat of wax since we almost sanded the paint with cutting compound last time. Plus some of the stonechips etc needed some attention.

Lived nearby Steve for almost 7 years and owning the M5 as long by then,
but never saw you around for Wouting my M5

Read you were nearby Gronau, you could have driven a half an hour up north
visiting me

Let's just say that's only theoretically possible. E36 mirrors won't fit 540's btw

The A31 from Gronau up north is empty on friday evening, and ist 110 km, so
theoretically it is possible in less then 30 minutes

I now E36 mirros won´t fit, but I do not understand why you mentioned this

Its an easy call on "Pencil Straight" , just mind the passing 320km/h black E200cdi taxi's with BOT registrations!

Hope the PM clears this

OK, thanks for clearing this

HOLY SH*T!!!!

And there I was swearing about the second microfilter swap in 2 weeks.....

And a non-willing OBC backlight! Oh and the plod did complement about some nice grey colour before explaining that they needed quicker patrol cars and I would have saved money if I had NOT parked in plain sight.....

Yep, Bottrop to Ochtrup can be done in 20 minutes!

But somehow, I am missing something

Wouter,

Thanks for the very comprehensive write-up. Now, let's wait for Stevie's

I drove Steves 540/6 last night and was, and still am, very surprised about the performance. The differens with my former 540A is really big. Steves car has a extremly responce on the throttle wich I always missed on the A version. I really believe it will be strugle to keep him behind me with the M5. And the power on low rev makes it very easy to drift. Thanks for giving me the keys Steve!
