Exclamation Inside info regarding the new E60 M5 launch
Talked to my "sources" today

The E60 M5 will most definetly be launched at Geneva and definetly not in Detroit.

Worst case scenario and most probable scenario:

It will be launched as a "showcar", with black windows and "fenced" in just as the M3 E46 was:



and a "real" presentation at the Paris Auosalon in September 2004.

We will get a definitive answer around January.

Yes, so many people showed interest in a meet at Geneva - I don't think a bigger meeting can be done anywere else!

PS: I don't stay at a hotel, I'm only 3 (very fast) hours from Geneva
