First things first.......a BIG hello to this board!! I have posted a few replies, but this is my first POST. Nice to know there are other M5 fanatics out there!
I bought my beast in January for my 40th, after owning a 528i for two years........I finally gave in to reason. It was destiny, since the Lynchburg dealer had a 2002 in the showroom without a buyer!!! Can you believe it??
Ok, so back to the topic at hand. Anyone who knows me knows I don't like loud noises. On my way home one day I pull up to a stop light in the RH lane. Wouldn't you know it, A HD Sportster pulls up along side with a modified pipe, and its loud. The two lane road merges into a single lane about 1/2 mile ahead, and I'm thinking there is no way this guy is going to get in front of me, so I can hear is exhaust all the way home.
So I non-chalantly depress the SPORT button (I really baby this car) and wait for the light to turn green. Green light, I accelerate assertively to make my intentions known. At this point I can't see him but I can hear him accelerate hard........so I floor it. The poor guy never had a chance, after a few seconds I'm quickly approaching 80 mph and he let's off the gas, resigned to defeat.
Up ahead there is stopped traffic, so I get on the brakes. He pulls up behind me with a disgusted look on his face, and takes the first possible turn-off. Safe to say that he'll have lots more respect for all BMW's, but especially the ones with that little M5 badge.
My car is not only faster and better looking than his bike........its also alot quieter:hihi:
God I love this car!
