Welcome Steve... I have always been a huge fan of the M5 that 10 banger is going to be an epic motor in 10 years when displacements are down to less than one liter and the engines have 6 turbos pushing 300lbs of boost... I didn't think that they made your M5 in a manual. You have chosen wisely... If you haven't come to an auto-X you haven't enjoyed your car to the fullest. You may have had some real fun and crafted some wide smiles but Auto-X will broaden your horizons... Do come out. The Regency lot in Waldorf is a great lot. The first event is 3/24 (just two weeks away) I just signed up for the Morning and Afternoon sessions last night and I am bringing two good friends one with a Chrysler X-fire SRT and the other with a hopped up Z28 Camaro. Hope to see you there...
