First off, let me just so how pathetic it is that I'm using this internet kiosk in the hotel to write about the european delivery thus far. I wont go into too much detail, except for a few things that I will talk about further when I return.
1. The M5 is amazing. We already have 1300 miles (past breakin), and have tried hard to follow the breakin instructions. It definitely needs a suspsension tweak, but powerwise, its amazing. Its pull at high autobahn/autostrade speeds is amazing.
2. When we picked up the M5, I drove an E46 M3 SMG. Will post pics and story later.
3. I saw the Mini Cooper (and Mini One) and other cars (some nonproduction specially produced cars) at the factory and will tell more later.
4. Among the cars I've seen:
BMW M5 - many
BMW M coupe - many
BMW M3 E46 - many (19" rims too)
3 (yes, 3) Porsche GT2's...sat in one.
a few Porsche GT3's and some 996tt's
a few 993tt's
Every single MB XX55 AMG
Renault R5 Turbo
Subaru Impreza P1
Ferrari 360 Modena-Ferrari 550 Maranello-Ferrari 456
Smart cars
Maserati 3200 Coupe
Audi S3, S4, S4 Avant, S6, S6 Avant, S8
Audi RS4 - seen a few...fast cars
So many others, and autobahn stories to come...
5. Misc. - we stopped off at Hamann in Ulm, Germany. Will post pics and info later. Also, stopped at BMW Museum (very bad), Ferrari Museum (ok), and a few other interesting stops.
6. I bought a nice model of an Imola Red M coupe. I dont think Ive seen it in the states before, and its much bigger than the standard model made by BMW (which I bought also at the museum)
