How often do you abuse your M5?

How much do you drive your M5 hard (after warming up of course). I'm just curious about who's naughty or nice with these beasts. If I find some empty twisties or a lonely highway with no radar alerts I can hardly keep my foot off the accelerator. But enough about me...

Man I am definitely the minority in this group lol. My car almost never has been over 4K rpm. I roll on it getting on the highway and to pass someone, but other than a nice pull once up to speed nothing much. I rarely drive in manual mode either. Usually Drive in trans setting 2 and just enjoy the ride. I'm such a wimp lmao.

Wow I just couldn't do that. Most days I'm nice, but manual mode is so addicting. On another note, you are the person I try to hunt down and buy their M5 so that I can set it free lol.

One can see you drive your M5 how it should be driven but you should have asked your scared passenger to alight first, look what you did to him/her.

Ha! Absolutely, especially since I have just over 8000 miles on her.

Every single time I drive it. Why else have one of these, if you're not going to drive it hard?

I drive it like I stole it, every single day. I consider my M5 to be the best emotional therapy around. Cheaper and more fun than a mistress.

You guys make me want to sell my 535 and get an m5. Always been a dream and a 2013 or 2014 is definitely in my price range now.

You need to turn your keys in to your local BMW dealership pronto. They have a special line for weenies and grandmas like you so they can quickly process the car and get it out to a serious driver.

Ha! If you only knew. Yeah usually out in the M5 with the kids that's why I went with it instead of the GT3. I have plenty of other toys I get my adrenaline out on, the M5 I just don't go out and beat on every time I take it out.

That's what I did. Bought my uncles 2014 M5 when he bought the new one. Best decision I ever made. Fuck my old SRT. Someone once called it a piece of plastic and I got angry, but now I have seen the light.

Lmao! Dont think I dont enjoy the car I do, but most of the time she goes out I have the family with me so I dont get to really push the car. We do some nice pulls on the highway (the kids love it) but really nothing crazy. I am going with a local guy who tracks his new M3 we may start hitting the track with the cars. By track I mean road courses.

moving from a Dodge to a M5 is like ditching Magic the Gathering group in middle school and joining the football team.
