Here are some pictures of my ED trip from 9/1 to 9/5. My newborn son is too young to travel for this trip. I was forced to do this trip by myself and left wife and son at home. It has turned out to be a nice get away from the busy work and family life ☺ . This is my first time going to Europe, and I was blown away by the culture, view, and the people over here in Munich. The German roads are indeed really smooth, and people really drive fast on the autobahn. I was passing by Passat, Golf, and even Hyundai with speed over 130 mph. Driving the M5 over there was a wonderful experience. The sound from the exhaust and gear changing was intoxicating. To me, the sound of this beast is perfect, and I don’t think I will need to get any after market exhaust. Gear changing was so crispy and fast in both manual and auto modes. The throttle response was unbelievable. I was amazed by the aggressiveness of the look of the car regardless how many thousands of pictures that I have seen prior. People on the street turned their heads to the M5. I wish I could stay few more days to enjoy the car more and to explore the city and the county more. I felt refreshing after this wonderful trip. Now, I am counting the calendar to wait for the arrival of my beast. Enjoy the pics guys.

This guy pulled me over for nothing. He kept asking me if I am the owner of this car. I asked him “do you think I steal the car?” He answered, “yes!” LOL
