    So far I really like it. In normal driving it has plenty of get up and go. Going into 500 mode is rare.

    Gas mileage could be better (13 in town, 18.5 highway). Small fuel tank. SMG transmission takes a little getting used to.

    Maybe I can bring it to the next meet...

    If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?

    Ask me in two years.

    Like some cars, the M5 needs oil to be topped off between oil changes. No biggie. However, I have put about 1000 on the car now, and it is already asking for oil. OK, I will stop and buy some. Noooooo. O'Reilly doesn't carry 10W-60 apparently. I can either order on the internet, or buy from the dealer.

    Ho boy.
