BMW M5 gathering Indiana/Ohio/Ilinois/Michigan meet 'da Hammer!

met up with about 8 BMW M5 owners to run the hills of SE Ohio. Many compliments about the car and color as most knew about the car and even one that considered it. One clown would not stop trying to make up acronyms for AMG and where I should put the car for the group photo(i.e. his trunk).
After our first drive through the twisty stuff the M5 drivers that I followed or that tried to follow me wanted to know more about the car. Most have had some track and drag strip time and could handle the 4000 lbs. car with only a few putting a wheel in the gravel.

All-in-all the guys were a great bunch that knew one another from BMWM5.com and met for the first time.

My C32 took quite a few M5s to keep it corraled.

M5 protected!

My C32 looks to be in good company. Even the M5 guys looks like I was being escorted/protected.
