The VA M5ers are trying to organize a trip to the Tail of the Dragon (www.tailofthedragon.com). The thread, which seeks suggestions and gauges interest, is in the Events section: Official 2007 Tail of the Dragon Organization Thread. The purpose of this post is to let everyone know about that thread. Please keep the discussion there.

If thats you, ec8 driving your E60 though the NEern snow....Your crazy. I wouldnt subject your beast to those weather conditions.
I see no problem with driving the car year round, and do so myself. The car handles quite predictably with snow tires, and while probably not as stable as a four wheel drive vehicle, is still quite safe (and fun).

+1. I just don't understand the rationale behind hibernating the M5 for the winter (and some as drastic as not exposing it to rain: oh, the horror!). It's not a race car. It's a sedan, people! No, not the best winter vehicle, but certainly a capable one. Stop worrying about getting your cars getting wet and salty (surprise, salt washes off!), slap on some snow tires, start driving, and stop treating the M5 like a GT3 RS.
I drive all my rear wheel cars year round... uless I just can't even get out of the driveway, then I go for the 4X4.
but they are just cars, although nice ones, but still.
