I know, I know
The M5 completely got me the 1st time, but I was a little more ready the second time. It's hard to see in the video, but I was actually 1 1/4 car length ahead of him when we wound out, but I backed off and he braked slightly when we started to crest the bridge. Off the line, my car is a complete dog, but once it hits 3.5k, it finally wakes up. I've really gotta ditch the stock ECU and/or do something like a Unichip, I know more is in it still.
I haven't added it due to moving from Seattle to Boise, buying a house, vacations w/ the kids, yada yada yada. I keep looking at it, but then it's like I'm back and forth between the 7, the X and the bike lately. My ADHD, OCD, ABCDEFG seems to get the best of me! I've driven a B7 when I went to BMW of Bellevue while my buddy was buying an E39 M5. The B7's a beast for a large car, but I'm confident i'll be walking it once I finish...but is it ever really finished
Oh yeah, don't expect too much hair from me
