M-individual, thanks a lot for the info. Your M6 looks great btw! I'm off to my dealer tomorrow to check out what they can offer. I doubt they'll offer anything close to what you got, but its going to be worth the try. Worst case, I'll hit the autobahn and do the German version. At least I'll get a taste of the autobahn in an M\\\. My dealer also said the 250km/h limiter is actually 270km/h cut off. You think thats true?

Thanks. Good luck and please let us know what they were able to offer you. As you said, if it can't be arranged you will at least have fun with your M5 on the Autobahn driving to the training in Germany. You will sure like that. That V10 will have Autobahn for breakfast, lunch and dinner any day and you will simply love it. Imagine this ... you are doing 210-220 km/h (= cruisin') and there is a slower car in front of you. You brake, shift down from 7th to 3rd (throttle blips are awesome) and you floor it. Awesome. But, as I said, make sure your car is properly broken in as you want to do this trip using at least S5 mode and P507 Sport.
The 270 cut off it right but that is speedo imo and not real GPS speed. If you want more info on this do a search on the M5 / M6 board. There are tons of threads regarding this subject available. One last word of advice: just be careful in the beginning. The M5 is fast, very fast. The problem is that you don't really notice that you are travelling at high speeds. This is where the M training comes in handy.

Damn, I just looove the throttle blips! I noticd them, the 2nd time I test drove the M5 in the rain!
Thanks for the advice, I am not planning to abuse the V10 but enjoy everything it has to offer, hence the M-training. Considering I still own an X, I'd love to stay on this site but to get more info on the M, I'm planning to join the M5board site. Its gonna be really tough for them to beat this site with all our quality members.

True but the M5/M6 board won't let you down either. Great members and tons of good info. I'm a member over there as well. Looking forward to welcome you there soon.
