Last week I visited a friend of mine who is a sales manager at a BMW dealer to buy a new 750li. He convinced me to test drive a '06 M5, w/18k on it, he had. I have to admit, I knew nothing of the car. But after the test drive I had to own it. What a great car!!! I think I scared the heck out of the salesman that rode with me.
Since owning the car, I haven't stopped researching it. And this site has been the best for doing so. What a wealth of information for anyone owning or interested in these cars. It's great to see a community that exists for a M5 enthusiast.
I've included a pic of my car the day i picked it up..........
