Track event
In Norcal? Want to track your car in a safe/fun enviroment?
Check out the link below. Thunderhill is one of the best yet safest tracks in CA.
Taken from THDS:
Our School is a High Speed driving event on an FIA class road track with a licensed racing instructor. You drive, they teach. In 1.5 hours of lecture and track orientation, plus 5-20 minute high speed driving sessions, you'll learn and practice "line", threshold braking, car control, consistency and smoothness. You'll learn a few new things about yourself and your car and you'll acquire knowledge, experience and respect for the art of car control.

You have better luck getting somone from an M5 forum then an E55 owner... 
no offense but these E55 guys only care about drag racing ...sad but true 
*flame suit on*
p.s. dont get me wrong i like the E55... just the that owners should be more into other things then just drag racing

Waittttttttt a minute. Don't group everyone together. I myself love to run the track. I know that there are alot of other E55er's feel the same way. Give a road course any day of the week over a drag run.
With the Thunder Hills event I cannot make it. It's a sunday and I have an event all day on sundays.
Now the December 16th event I would attend, If we can get more E55er's to sign up.

Sunday, Oct 22nd at Thunderhill. $225

BTW,
I have to agree regarding MB owners. I rarely ever see or hear interest from MB owners when it comes to a road course. A bit more interest when it's a drag race. It's a shame really as these cars are quite capable.
