Found myself driving most of today. Why? Just for the pure thrill of driving.

It made me think. For a car to make such an impression on me after owning several M's is quite special.

I recall driving my very first E46M3 and that was coming from a mk1 golf. The feeling was undescribable. This feels even more so. Even with the smg the E60M5 has surpassed what I've come to expect from bmw.

I lie awake at night. Wondering. When will I get to drive it next...

My first ever attempt at Go Pro Footage, I just shortened and smacked together a couple of takes. There will be more to come in future :)

Car sounds amazing. The in cabin footage looks like it is being played back at 2x speed, mad fast!

I cant wait to see what this thing is like at sea level and in cold air. All footage was taken at approx 5000ft above mean sea level and at 30+ deg C

Andy, I'm still formulating a plan to get us both down to Durbs so we can get our cars' legs stretched a little.

We have a place to stay in Southbroom, I must just take the family down first.

My bro helped bring the M6 down to durbs with us and all i can say is, WOW! its a completely diff car here!!!
The tone on idle is much deeper and the V10 symphony is deeper and much more noticeable throughout the rev range when pulling (zorst is stock so what imagine yours will be like!). And It feels like the power is much much more readily available to you, while not even being in M Dynamic. It honestly makes a huge diff being at sea level for these cars

I bought my M5 in JHB and to be honest I wasn't impressed with the performance up there. When I got to the Marionhill toll it becomes a different car completely...

How loud is the cabin when cruising on the freeway? Is it still 5 Series quality and quietness?

I am dieing to fit an exhaust on my M5, but the R60k quotes are scaring me off...
