Do you ever have a moment when the M5

reminds you of why you bought it?

I did the other day...

the car had been sitting a few days since I drive the jeep to work, and I decided to take the m5 out on the weekend. I took it for a long drive and at some point in the trip I lowered the radio and just listened as I went above 4000 rpm.

I smiled right away and relished the moment. I don't regret buying her one bit

Every time I get in and get a hold of the steering wheel. I also feel guilty when he's dirty as hell on the outside and I dont wash him because it's gonna rain the next day. I'm making up for it with mods, though

Well said..

Off course an exhaust and a header would be a great enhancement

Yep. I've driven it less than 150 miles in the past 4 months. I hopped in last weekend to take a potential buyer on a test drive, and said "Damn."

It really is an amazing car. Leaps and bounds more amazing than my E39 528iT.

no one's going to buy that cherry beauty in this crappy market anyway. and you're diluting your investment of enjoyment selling it for less that you wanted to. just keep it and be happy. drive the darned thing, even if you have a "for sale" sign in the window. maybe the windows will be open one day and the sign will fly right out as you're zipping down the highway. problem solved.

The title of this thread is misaligned with the clearly-worded-thread-title movement...
