Three years October 2014, right? Time to start planning the next one

Yes, the next BMW event is in Instanbul Turkey for the launch of the M3. Barry B. is planning a driving event with BMW at the Nurburgring in July '14. Please shoot him an email for details.

Already on that one Gene

Yup, should have the details next month as the Ring only posts their availability for the yr in Jan. Stay tuned.......
It could be a Seville reunion.

Congrats! Great specs!

Thanks for all the kind words, I have been out of town. I have driven 600 miles in my new M5 and I keep wondering, how is BMW going to better the F10 M5? This car is so good it might be my last. Any other new owners feel that way?

HOT!!!

Beautiful car, congrats! Silverstone really looks good with the 343s.

Take it on a real race track. You will begin to see its flaws. Plus, as a guy in his mid-30's the F10 chassis is a little too big for me. The next M5 will be MUCH lighter, have better fuel efficiency (no gas guzzler tax anymore), will come with better technology, and may come in an AWD variant. Those are the biggest areas I see improvement on. Traction and weight are the F10 M5's biggest flaws.

Congrats! It doesn't get any better than Silverstone! ;-)

I agree, it would be fun to see the next generation M5 be a little lighter.
