New M5 Owner Checking In
I am the proud new owner of a '02 Sterling Gray / Black M5! Can't believe that I was finally able to get the car I only dreamed of owning for so long. I upgraded from a 540i/6 and couldn't be happier. Commutes (even in traffic) are so enjoyable.
Glad to be part of the group and looking forward to learning much from you all.
BTW - this site rocks!

I'll get some pics posted this weekend.

Hey drallen,
I'm on the island of Oahu. Not many places to rip around in the M. And worst of all the owner of the only race track on Oahu is planning on closing down at the end of March.
I need to make a conscious effort to get in some track time before then.
