          How to enjoy your beast even more

          I am new to the board so first of all I must thank all of you. I have been reading here for ages and I have found a lot of very useful comments and more important a lot of people sharing the same passion ! I noticed lately friends and colleagues are getting a little bored with me talking about the beast all the time. So it's probably time for me to participate on this board and find some like minded people.

          Now, because of snowy condition here in the north I had not been driving the beast for a month ! In the mean time I drove a C class 220 CDI (hired it during christmas holidays in France). IMO this car looks good but with a diesel engine and big turbo lag.......

          Well at last the snow melted and I could take the beast out. It was like driving it for the first time, after letting the engine warm up I took the first opportunity to push her into redline in 2nd and 3rd before I had to cool down and I had forgotten the feeling. Now I think I am going to drive other cars once in a while and enjoy the beast even more.

          I'll post some race posts on the other forum to start with (Alpina 3,3 and a strange golf)

          Cheers

          Hello Vince!

          Welcome aboard!

          I had a very similar feeling with my Boxster, I would garage it most of the winter, driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Then, in the spring I would fall in love all over again.

          Now that I have a Beast ( and therfore am that much closer to the true meaning of life) I only expect a more intense experience!!

          I hear ya Vince!

          I have a Ford Ranger 4x4 that I drive whent the weather is bad or need a truck for something. Recently it snowed quite a bit here in N.C. so I was in the truck for almost 2 weeks. After returning to the M5 I have a whole new love and appreciation for the car.

          I better not do that too many times because if I fall any more in love with this car my wife will have me committed!
