M5 spotted / Newport Ca = trouble for MB owners everywhere

Well guys this is the first of many that will be roaming about now that the car is officially on shores... I think upon confrontation I will rather get killed than just let them take over... hopefully someone will post M5 kill... Renntech C55 maybe? who knows, one thing I do know, it probably won't be me....

P.S.
this is the first REAL spotting me and my freinds have had -

the engine sounds absolutley brilliant.

cheers,
Vic

I work Irvine, and saw a black one today in my parking garage. Tomorrow I will try to talk to the guy.

By the way it is 11 story building and there is also a new Ferrari Modena 430.

The guy was driving around the building like it was stolen....

it look pretty mean, but I dont' think black is the best color for it.

I had a short ride in a friend's M5(used to own a C32).car wasn't broken in and he was doing donut and drift. The power and the handling felt pretty much like a E46M3, amazing for a car this big. I assume the 500 hp will impress me more when the car is above 180km/h.
