Greg's virtual M5 School + bmwm5.com movies
Are now hosted here at BMWM5.com.
http://vidload.file-dl.de/
This site includes a full set of videos designed to help M5 owners learn to launch and shift without ruining the clutch. It also includes some advanced techniques like rev-matched single- and double-clutch downshifts, and heel-and-toe braking.
But wait - there's more! Scroll down to the "Bonus Videos" for some other fun stuff. If you haven't seen BMW's "Rocket Car" ad for the M5, you are missing a treat. It is here.
Other fun bmwm5.com movies here:

Beautiful! Thanks.
Edit: the link to movie about single clutch downshift (sgl_clutch_downshift.mpg) is wrong. There should be no quotation marks in the file name.
