OK, I tried to wait and let someone else do this, but I guess I'll just have to say it...

"I'm sure that'll buff right out!"

Most of the E60 M5 accidents I read are roll over....driver lost control . Wonder if somebody has tried fitting the M5 engine into a regular E60.

I learned something new today.
