M5 ON THE B9
In typical German fashion a late model M5 pulls up to about 2 meters behind me while on the B9. Sorry, I forgot to turn on the rear GoPro, but the front dashcam is running (I'll post up in a day or two). Anyway, we're off and running and the 11 year old queen of stealth just walks away from Bimmer's latest/greatest. Traffic circle coming up at about 180k, let's see how deep we can go with those lightweight AMG/Brembos. Didn't even trigger the ABS. Hard out of the traffic circle or roundabout (depends on the nav lady) with a bit more heat in the Yokohama Advans, the Quaife, toe-links and KMACS all working and it really becomes a bad dream for Mr. Silver/Grey M5 with the blue calipers as he goes by while I'm exiting on to the A60. I wonder if that young fellow could see my grey hair and turkey neck?
Well written kill story

E55k AMG
was the M5 the E60 5l v10 shape or the new F10 v8 tt?
What mods do you have on yours.
I owned a E60 M5 5l V10 on a 2006 plate. those things were insanely quick and pushed all the way to 200mph, but all the power is at the top end (n/a engine).
My E55 AMG feels quicker with the cooling mods, 84mm pulley and tune. never had a chance to push it all the way to the limit.
Nice kill as the bimmer boys would say lol
