I don't care how many driving schools you go to, at 16 you do not have the "behind the wheel" experience. An M5 is too much car for some people twice that age.
On a side note, a yellow convertible M5 won't have much of a resale value. The conversion needs to be really well too, that's a lot of structure being removed. Is there some type of roll-over protection that can be installed?
In regards to that 102MPH Civic crash....the M5 can get out from under you a lot quicker than most Civics.
In regards to the driving school, I don't know your kids so this may not be true, but how many 16 year olds actually pay full attention while driving, especially if they're with friends?
Way too many issues to consider for me to be comfortable handing the keys of an M5 over to my 16 year old.
I agree that a lower 5 series would be a better start.
But, that's just my .02. Either way, your kids have great parents to even make the offer....
