"It" has arrived
I picked up my 2006 Interlagos Blue M5 from the train, in Calgary, last Friday afternoon. Not a scratch on it. Every option except active seat bolsters (just the manual type) and ventilated seats but with the acceleration and handling I don't miss either one. I am too busy smiling. I plan on posting some pictures as soon as I can pull myself away from the car long enough to figure out how to post pics. I know now why I have wanted one for so long.

Got an X5 coming so the M5 will not see any snow. Does anyone drive their M5 in the snow? How well do they handle the winter conditions?
