Thanks for the excellent suggestion. Apparently the original owner was a
member of a local ****sche Club and the dealer****p recommended that I
contact
them and consider joining. I think this spring I'll look into it.
I had originally bought a new, '06 BMW M5. Although sophisticated,
complex and capable of very decent performance, I realized after a few
months of owner****p that the only way to really appreciate it's
capabilities
was to drive it hard and fast. Otherwise, it was very much like driving
my
son's regular 5 series BMW, but with a stiffer ride. I ended up trading
it
towards the ****sche Turbo.
The ****sche is a completely different performance car all together. One
of
the things I like about it is that it still feels like a high performance
s****ts car, even at 40 mph.
