This one applies to the children
"Dad, what does that button do?" And we all know which button that is  "When I stayed round Billy's house his dad took us out and drove really fast on the lights" Then waits for me to press the M button "I love it when the car drops down gears" Waits for me to floor it Anyone ever let their kids drive the car? I let my 15 year old drive it all the time (Private property obviously) |

True confession, me many years ago.
"Dad, can I take your truck? Its behind my car. I'm taking a friend to the movies." Several hours later.... "Dad, call a tow truck, I got your truck stuck in the mud". Yes he did forgive me, even after the front solid axles later froze up. Thanks to bearings caked with mud. If it would have had the better tires on it at the time, it just might have dug itself out....

im just learning what this car can do.....there is no way even in my most hallucinogenic dreams would i let a 15 year old drive an M5...not even up the driveway.... ive seen too many horror stories of inexperienced drivers wreck M5 cars and one story of a 16 year old driving his dad's M5 and losing control and was involved in a fatal accident..... thats negligent entrustment by the father who now has to live with his mistake in allowing Jr to drive his M5. Sad, but true...
My advice....be prudent and safe not only for yourself but to your loved ones... the M5 is not an amusement item or a "fun toy" to be played with or abused. its a highly engineered, sophisticated powerful machine thats needs to be fully appreciated....allowing a 15 year old drive it at that tender age even on private property may not be wise IMHO. Just my opinion. |

I can understand your concern but I have let him drive a variety of cars, he started off with my wife's old ML 270 at 13 and then I suppose we sort of built upon that, he drove the companies 520D and then the current X5 35D. They are all automatic cars so they are simple to drive, I sit in the passenger seat with him all the time with him but he knows that if he ever does anything stupid in the car he'll lose all privileges. I feel that half the time children get hurt in cars is because the parents are just too lenient, I mean if I even heard him rev the car I'd go mad, what if he didn't realise it was in gear? He knows the boundaries and knows to never step over them, especially when driving.
I can agree that there are too many people who let kids drive over powered cars and then face the gruelling consequences (I would never let JR drive on public roads, even when he as a license) when on private property I always think of how fast could he go here and what would happen if he did? We don't have a very long driveway so he wouldn't be able to get to an excessive speed, also when in the car park he isn't allowed to drive if there is another car there. I do take precautions and never feel as if I'm lenient towards him but he knows why. Totally agree that these are not toys for kids to play with but I feel that I take the necessary steps to ensure he's safe. There is always that what if feeling but he always takes it slow and makes sure everything is perfect e.g no obstacles around the car, handbrake off, in gear etc which is why I feel safe for JR to drive. Totally understand your concerns though Rocky |

Too funny. Thanks for posting.
At the end of the day, it's only a car. I do allow my 17 yo son to drive it occasionally. I, however, don't let my 16 yo son drive it. Gotta have trust in your kids! Happy New Year to everyone.
