Good to hear from you. You will certainly need the bra coming down the 5, for sure if it is at night. I do not know what it is about our lights, but they draw bugs like fresh road kill.
I bought a Coligan Bra. You can get it from several distributors. They are really hard to get on the first time, but I can tell you that they will not come off even at 161mph! The bra did not leave any marks on the paint.
I believe that if you look in the back of many of the car magazines, you will find a distributor. I purchased mine from Big Sky along with a car cover.
Let me now if you top the 161. I hope you have a Valintine for the trip. There is only one thing you will attract like the bugs, the DMV! Watch out for the "eye in the sky".

Thinking of purchasing a bra for a trip down to S.Cal. Any pointers/suggestions? (I want it to use for long trips only not for every day use)
Mark (MAH), I like the one you had on when you left us last trip. Any details would be helpful.

If you're considering a bra for your M5, I have to recommend the Colgan bra. They're made about 5 miles away from where I live and have I've used Colgan on the previous 2 M3's and 3 other BMW's I've had. They are the best and the safest. In addition, I highly recommend the matching mirror covers or "booties" that fit perfectly and are designed specifically for the car and will not interfere with the fold-up action of the mirrors. They look great, protect the paint and finish from flying debris/insects/cigarette butts, etc., and few BMW owners know about or have them. Approximately $125.00 for the bra, $40.00 for the booties (US). You can get all through a local distributor or direct from Colgan. As of this writing, both are available and in stock per Colgan.
