Hi Folks,
Just thought I'd introduce myself as I finally joined BMW CCA. I'm in Centreville, VA. I owned a 2006 325i until last week. It was a great car, but after a friend convinced me to join him at an Audi Club Potomac Chapter HPDC and HPDE at Summit Point in September, I got a bit of an itch for something with more oomph. The 325i was great in the turns (actually got to pass a few folks after the turns as I was all over them), but was sorely lacking in the straight-aways (my arm got quite tired giving pass signals).
I held back on scratching that itch until my brother-in-law came to visit with his Audi RS4. I had way too much fun driving it - I just had to upgrade. I finally settled on a 2008 M5 - I had dreamed of having one even before the "itch." I had to go with the manual over the SMG, even in NVA traffic. I've only had it a few days and it's been loads of fun. I've never been a "car guy", and really am still not one, though I've done a lot of homework recently. I don't know if I'll ever take this beast out on a track, though I might attend driving school down in Spartanburg eventually. I'm sure this fine machine is wasted on the likes of me, but I'm enjoying it none-the-less.
Cheers,
Steve
