That was the plan!!!!
But then I found 'the right' M5 when just browsing to get an idea of what was on the market!
I might just keep them both, they look good as a pair

*kidding, just kidding. I think.

Anyone else looking for a good spec m5? I can vouch for this one :

Friend of mine, spent a lot on it, doesn't get used much, has older m5 as run around. Pictures are rubbish as teken by his son on a camera phone
some better ones will follow...

You just turn a key inside and it goes up and down! Great idea really as there's not a lot of room for cars otherwise. Then they've built a garden on the roof of it, with self watering grass, and an automated robo-mower! Whatever next?!

Nice, colour, not seen too many of those.
I haven't really taken the M5 by the scruff yet. The RS feels like it accelerates faster due to the character of the turbos, and hides the actual speed very well too, whereas the M5 seems to feel like you are going fast even when you are doing 70 or 80. I like the instant hit of the M5 thought, plus the much higher revs! (oh, and the rwd)

Nevetas, I'm sure you can relate given the frequency you change cars (and the type of cars they are!)
Gastro, yes it was the nikon 10.5mm fisheye. Great lens, but I'm still getting to grips with it, it's by no means point and shoot!

Yeah, welllll, that's nothing. Look at my new bike.
http://www.dtrcartwright.pwp.blueyon...tyler%2001.jpg
Getting some spokey-dokeys next week and everything.
Made the right choice MR. always had to be the Beemer. Hopefully you won't get as much road rage in the 5 over the 3.

That's a good point, I've never felt so much negative feeling in any car as I did with the M3 hire car I had! It was incredible! The RS on the other hand seems to get universal nods of respect. I think the 5 will hover somewhere in the middle.
You fancy coming to bedford next weekend then? You can tell me which way the track goes through the passenger side window
