Wow... nice pictures sir! You have one of the best M5 (MCB + MT) in the world... I don't know if you have driven the M5 DCT yet to compare with your car, but I believe due to longer gears (especially first gear which is almost 20%) and a little better weight distribution, your car must have better traction than M5/M6 DTC to jump off the line on dry road; however it still has lots of fun on snow/rain
