    Got my invite. Testing the new E60 V10 M5

    Arrived yesturday. Official invite from to attend Darlington Park up here in Brisbane with Geoff Brabham and Co. All day testing the new E60 V10 M5, 645Ci, 545i and the E46 M3. It will be hard but someone has to do it. :p I will be sure to take a heap of pics and video.

    I also hope to do a bit of a comparison on my E34 M5, an E39 M5 and the new one.

    Cheers
    Dave

                  I am sure that the experience will be awesome.

                  I did a lap with Sabine in the M5 at the Nordschleife on Saturday and was suitably impressed. She told us (as is her job to do) that the E60 was "quite a bit better" than the previous model, which I thought was a bit of a no-brainer. Seemed like there was plenty of torque on tap, anyway.
                  When my mate (who has the E46 M3) asked if the sequential box had improved, she said "Yes, very much."... So. There you go. From the horse's mouth.

                  Need I say it...Enjoy.

                        Hmmm, you keep your M5 off the track do you hear? Otherwise the Treasury or Finance Minister will hear about it :p Otherwise, do you need urging to have fun? Didn't think so :D
