Hey Bimmer,....I think sChoc just slapped a gauntlet across your face.

I wanted to give the man something to wet his whistle. Good motoring weather(around these parts anyway) is at our doorstep. If watching a modestly tuned, aero-free, Sedona Red 135i and Space Grey Metallic M5 sailing along the Nordschleife doesn't give drivers something to daydream about, I don't know what will.  

I'm getting more proficient with shifting. Able to minimize the "BAP-BAP-BAP" from the rev limiter bouncing. Downshifting is becoming a real treat though. Disengage clutch, snik through 5th to 3rd, re-engage clutch nice and smooth and keep the good times rolling. Love it!

*is smacked in face with gauntlet*

OWWWW.  That hurt.

I'll check these out and hopefully contribute a little, too, so soon as I finish going through the C Class runoff in my CSL.

I must say, nicely done with that 135i.  Those things have been little devils for me in anything above C, thanks to the mountainous torque curve.

The M5, well, holycrapIforgothowawesomethosethingssoundatfullchat.

Note to self: Send newly tuned B-class BMW 135i Targa racer to "the green hell" for testing.
