Holy crap! You're only 25, and you're buying an M5! Lucky guy... rich parents, or recent internet millionaire?

Anyways... onto business. I'm guessing you've never driven the M5. It's a wolf in sheeps clothing. The Honda will give you zero appreciation, or idea, of what this car is all about. I guess you can practise on a Honda, to get the feel of a stick and clutch, but I guarantee that it will be nothing like the M5. I also guarantee that you will stall the M5 many times while learning on it... I am an experienced stick driver, and stalled my M5 a few times when I first got it. Don't get me wrong, the stick and clutch are as smooth as can be, but it seems to have a feel that's different from anything I've driven before. It's got a smooth easy drive, with a whole crap load of power when you punch it. It'll scare the SH#T out of you...

Have fun with it... you bought the righ car!
