Had a great week with my M5
I drove my car about 1000 miles this week. I went on a few out of town trips and decided to drive my M5. It drove great and even got decent gas mileage. I had no problems at all. I have had a couple of bad months prior to this week and almost sold the Beast. I test drove several cars and did not find anything I liked as much as my M5. I am so glad I kept it.

Glad to hear you kept it! Just out of curiosity...What other cars did you test drive? I don't know of any other car I'd rather have that's comparable in price.

Hmmm...you might be the CB that I keep seeing around town. You'll have to join in on one of our *events*. Next "official" outing will be Wed 8/15 when Gustav's in town, but I'd REALLY love to have a big M5 contingency hit Cruisin Grand in Escondido some Friday night.
